The Adventures Of Elmo in Grouchland is one of cutest kids movies I have seen a while. Elmo won’t share his blanket with Zoe (his friend) and ends up losing it in Oscar’s can. He journeys to Grouchland to get back his blanket and along the way he learns a lot about taking others feelings into consideration. Huxley (the villain) has his blanket, along with a lot of other things that don’t belong to him and Elmo tries to get his blanket back. It definitely teaches the kids about sharing without them even realizing it. It is a little over an hour, so it perfect for little ones attention spans. There are even a few jokes thrown in there for the adults! However, this is truly a kids movie. You don’t have to worry about diet pills or adult language here. It is a Sesame Street classic with all the gang.

My mom got me a subscription to Readers Digest for Christmas. I love this magazine. It usually comes in the mail with all my furniture catalogs. It has lots of short stories and I love the jokes that you can read in there. I have some of stories I should send in. If they do publish your story, they pay you money which I think is awesome. They have some great investigative reporting too. I know each month I get this I have it read in the first day. The price is great and you can often send a free gift subscription to your family and friends.
