If you’re looking for some fun family time at the movies with some of the most enduring Christmas classics of all time, we are about to make your day!  Both the Blue Mouse Theater in Proctor (one of the oldest continuously operated movie theaters in the country) and The Grand Cinema (Downtown Tacoma’s non-profit art house movie theater) will be hosting special showings of Christmas Classics THIS WEEK.
