“It’s the most wonderful time of the year. With the kids jingle-belling and everyone yelling…MOM! MOMMY! MOMMA!!”
Ok, so maybe that’s not how the lyrics go, but, you get the point. There is so much to do around the holidays with school concerts and plays and parties and a partridge in a pear tree and there aren’t enough seconds in the day to possibly get it all done. We feel this in our souls at Charleston Moms and have put together a guide for holiday movie showings around town to give you some time to take a breath, reconnect with your family, and make some fun memories together that won’t break your budget!
And don’t forget to check out our other holiday guides!
