I found a wonderful holiday gift idea for children, grandparents and parents. A movie created by MeMovies features a personalized version of a movie that "stars" your child.

After spending much of my life as a weenie, I married a Halloween crazy man and I have grown quite fond of Halloween and all that goes with it.
