Check out my #Review of @KirkCameron #Saving Christmas & Enter to win a Movie Gift Pack

*I received information and an advanced screening of this movie for purposes of this review.  All opinions expressed are my own.

Check it Out!  I love Christmas!  It is my favorite holiday.  I love the decorations, the celebrations, the food, all of it! I guess sometimes I worry about the gift part but that is a whole other story! lol
I am ready to bring on all these traditions and I have the perfect movie for kicking off the holiday season to share with you today.  Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas is all about putting Christ back into Christmas.

About the movie:

This Christmas, have your family join with Kirk Cameron’s family and dive headfirst into all the joy, dancing, celebration, feasting, imagination, and traditions that glorify the true “reason for the season.” KIRK CAMERON’S SAVING CHRISTMAS is an engaging story that provides a biblical basis for our time-honored traditions and celebrations, and the inspiration to stand strongly against a culture that wants to trivialize and eliminate the faith elements of this holy season. So take in the splendor; take in the majesty; take in the story. Take it all in… and let’s put Christ back in Christmas! KIRK CAMERON’S SAVING CHRISTMAS is in theaters for a limited engagement beginning November 14 for two weeks only!

"Join me, and my family, and together let’s put Christ back into Christmas. We’ll dive head first into all of the joy, the dancing, the celebration, the feasting, the imagination and traditions that glorify the true reason for the season.” - Kirk Cameron

Opening in select theaters Nov. 14 for 2 weeks only, Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas will help you put all the holiday hoopla into perspective.  It seems that with all the commercialism of the holiday, Jesus is taking a back seat and it's become unclear exactly what Christmas is suppose to be about.  Kirk tells you and shows you how you can get back to what is important and enjoy the season with all of its trimmings.  I really enjoyed this movie.  I got to watch a pre-screening and I watched with my 14 year old daughter.  Although she said it was a little boring, I caught her many times with her full attention on the screen! We learned so much about the facts behind Santa, gifts, and even Christmas trees.  I have heard her twice repeating some of the things she discovered to her brothers so I know she got it too! 

You can Check out the Official Website at www.savingchristmas.com and check out the official Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/SavingChristmasMovie.

I am super excited to be able to give one lucky Check it Out! with Dawn reader a Saving Christmas Movie Gift Pack!  This gift pack includes:

A SIGNED Saving Christmas movie poster (by Kirk Cameron), the soundtrack to the film, and a car air freshener that smells like trees!

Exclusive Buy 1 lb Get 1 lb FREE of Mrs. Cavanaugh's Chocolates Offer @mrscavanaughs @usfg

*I received information and a product for purposes of review.  All opinions expressed are my own.

Check it Out!  I love chocolate!  Not afraid to say it!  I really love me some chocolate!  And I love to try different brands and kinds, because there really is no such thing as enough chocolate!

I am super excited to be able to try a brand I have never tried before,  Mrs. Cavanaugh's!

Here is a little history about Mrs. Cavanaugh's Candies.

Time was when Marie Cavanaugh spent hours in her South Dakota farmhouse each Christmas season making pecan rolls and homemade chocolates for holiday gifting.

"It started when my aunt sent her pecan-rolls recipe," Mrs. Cavanaugh recalled. "I gave the recipe my own touch and started making the yummy specialties. Then I began dipping chocolates. Our friends and neighbors loved these treats, encouraging me to start a candy business. Finally, I decided it might be a good idea.'"

Her husband George and children Carla, Lorraine, Calvin, Colene and Genise rallied, helping Mrs. Cavanaugh fill demands for her homemade sweets.

...In 1972, the family moved to Utah, leaving good friends and their beloved cattle ranch. 

"It was a difficult decision, especially for George," Mrs. Cavanaugh said. "He was excited about making our new venture, which we chose to call Mrs. Cavanaugh's Candies, a great success. We felt Utah was blessed with good chocolates and that we would enjoy - and could compete with - those who pride themselves on making excellent chocolates."

Millions of pounds of chocolates later, Mrs. Cavanaugh's candies have earned a reputation for unquestionable excellence....Ask chocolate aficionados. They will direct those seeking the best chocolates to the popular Mrs. Cavanaugh's Candies." 

Thanks to US Family Guide and Mrs. Cavanaugh's, my readers receive Buy 1 lb Get 1 lb FREE of Mrs. Cavanaugh's Chocolates!  Just head over to http://www.mrscavanaughs.com/ and use promo code: usfamily14 at check out!  What a great gift idea!
