Katie! I love this so much! Our family also watches LOTR at Christmas. I've also noticed that at those times when I need to reawaken my hope and joy, I find myself turning to the LOTR and finding renewal there. I think it's no coincidence that my two most battered (with love and use) books are the Lord of the Rings and the Bible.
A confession... I've read the books but never watched the movies. Don't stone me. But this is making me think New Year's Day will be perfect for this. Thanks, Katie!
When my siblings and I were teenagers, we always liked to do a Lord of the Rings marathon on New Year's Eve and we were thinking about doing it again this year, so this definitely hits close to home in a good way :)
Same here 🙋🏼♀️ This is an yearly tradition for my family as well. Either during Advent or Christmas season. I’m trying to fit in more Advent themed movies and leaving the typical celebratory Christmas movies for the Christmas season. Ex. Scrooge for me would fall into my Advent movie list. Movies with more of a redemptive theme.

I hadn’t thought of this. Thank you!

Love your playlist recommendations btw! 🥰
