Christmas Apron & Christmas Break-in Movie Reviews (& Giveaway)

We had the delightful opportunity to review two new Christmas movies.

Christmas Apron

It’s no secret I love aprons! I’ve designed aprons of all sorts. We wear them daily while working in the kitchen and around the house. I absolutely loved the Christmas Apron and the message it shared, “Aprons help us do the most important work there is – family work. The work that says ‘I love you.'” Yes!

This is a short movie (a little over 30 minutes) with a powerful message of sacrifice and serving others.

Christmas Apron Movie Synopsis:
The children in Millie’s family can’t wait for Grandma to arrive with her special Christmas apron. According to tradition, each grandchild will write down the gift he or she wants most in the world, and then slip that wish into the apron’s pocket. Then, on Christmas morning, those wished-for gifts will be magically waiting under the tree. But then eleven-year-old Millie overhears her parents: the family can’t afford gifts for all the little ones. She pictures the disappointment on her siblings’ faces: nothing to open on Christmas morning. Is Millie willing to sacrifice her own whole-soul wish so that someone else’s can come true? Full of tender emotion and delightful surprise, this story reminds us of the miracles that unfold when we think of others before ourselves.

Christmas Break-in

My kids, especially those under 10, laughed so hard watching Christmas Break-in! It was almost as entertaining to watch them as it was to watch the movie. It is similar in ways to Home Alone but without the swearing (the “worst” phrase we heard was shut up). It’s a very fun family film!

You might not recognize most of the actors but look who the janitor is!

Danny Glover plays the kindly janitor who teaches Izzy to play the guitar.

Christmas Break-In Movie Synopsis:
Today was supposed to be one of the best days ever for nine-year-old Izzy Rush. But now, on the last day of class before Christmas break, she has been left alone at school. To make matters worse, the biggest blizzard this town has ever seen is blowing and snowing full force. Which is why three bumbling crooks on the lam decide to take shelter in the seemingly empty school. When Izzy discovers that the criminals are holding her friend Ray, the school custodian, she decides it’s up to her to save the day. But what can a nine-year-old girl do? You’d be surprised!
