SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES:

Ole from Takanini

THE LAST STRAW
It’s Christmas break at the McDonald house, but silent nights—and days—are nowhere to be found. With the children constantly bickering, pretty packages and a sweet-smelling tree do not come close to filling the McDonald home with the true spirit of the first Christmas. Then Mom remembers an old tradition of building a soft bed for Baby Jesus one straw at a time. Each time someone secretly does something nice for another family member, he or she gets to add a single straw to the manger. Soon the children’s quarreling and negative feelings subside and the homemade crib is overflowing. But for one family member, a required act of kindness becomes more that he can take.
Inspired by a true story and filled with both heart and humor, “The Last Straw” may forever change the way your family celebrates Christmas.

Watch tonight - Saturday at 8pm on Hope Channel

Leisure Time POP

Mike from Opaheke

we spent Friday night camped at Bobs Leisure Time POP near Glenbrook, grandson loved especially when the train went past all lit up - just watch out for your ears when the engine whistle blows 🙂
