It’s hard to believe Movie Theaters are already selling movie tickets for Christmas movies. But I would like to let you know Christmas at the Palace ticket sales begin at 9 a.m., Tuesday, July 9.
Charlie and I had went a couple years ago and watched Charlie Brown and I had wanted to go back last year but they had sold out of tickets. With me wanting to bring my family and also my sister and her family I will need to purchase tickets that morning.
Which means I need to start saving all of my lose change so I have enough money to purchase tickets for everyone and also snacks for Charlie and I. If your like me a movie isn’t a movie without Popcorn.
