The Nightmare Before Christmas
The Nightmare Before Christmas | Tim Burton
155 posts | 59 read | 1 reading | 14 to read
The imaginative genius of director Tim Burton has captivated millions of filmgoers, so it is no surprise that the first picture book he both wrote and illustrated is irreverent, quirky, and disarmingly delightful. Told in playful verse, this holiday tale is as inspired and as entertaining as the blockbuster movie of the same name. Full color.

I was stuck at home today thanks to my back (and the doctor wants me to rest tomorrow as well), so it seemed like the perfect time to watch one of my favorite Christmas movies with my cats (the other one curled up on my lap). #WinterGames #CandyCaneCrushers

#WinterGames #CandyCaneCrushers I bought this for the Boyfriend several years ago, and forgot it was an exclusive edition. He read the book to me, which was fun, but I'm really looking forward to listening to Christopher Lee's narration.

A few of the shows/movies we have watched this past week. I didn't have the time to watch all the movies I wanted to. Little ears this year made it a bit more difficult. But I did get quite a few shows in after bedtimes!

Over the past couple of years, I've warmed up to a variety of wintertime activities (used to be very much a Scrooge) but I really love going to see lights somewhere. Big tree lit, houses, etc.

Today, I'm grateful for it being my Friday and a get to have a few days off.

It looks like this is a matter of debate in several families. It certainly is here: Is ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas‘ a Halloween or a Christmas book/movie? Personally, I think it works as both and I like to revisit it in October as well December. I‘ve heard a lot of people say though that they see it purely as a Halloween story. What do you think? #thenightmarebeforechristmas #bookwormproblems #thebigquestionsoflife #theanswerisNOT42

julesG It works as both. Though it's a Christmas film for me this year. 5y
DefLeppard @scripturient I have never seen this book so am very jealous but as to the debate I plonk all my nieces and nephews down at both Halloween and Christmas and make them watch it. I mean come on, it's both occasions rolled into one so it just has to be done. Poor kids are so well conditioned by now cos of my obsession with it that they actually ask when we are watching it! 😂 5y
TheKidUpstairs I definitely see it as both. I usually watch it shortly after Halloween, but before all the Christmas stuff has started. It's the perfect transition movie 😁 5y

saresmoore Both! And I agree with @TheKidUpstairs —in that case, why not also watch it on Thanksgiving? 😁 5y
