Going to movies

Guest written by our friend Gladys Fuentes

Every holiday, my husband’s family goes to see a movie in the theater. When my husband and I were dating, this was a new concept to me because my family always spent every holiday at home and we never went anywhere unless it was to my grandmother’s house for dinner. In his family this is not the case. They used to get out the newspaper and spend hours deciding which movie to go to. At least now they have wireless internet so they can look online to see which movies are playing and it speeds up the process a little. They usually go to see whatever family movie is out at the time. It is a little embarrassing marching into the movie theater with his entire extended family, especially since everyone wants to sit together. We do end up having a good time watching the movie, but I would rather sit at home and enjoy each other’s company. It is a lot cheaper than paying for a movie and popcorn, plus you can sit around and talk to each other.
