SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES:
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.
