Well, perhaps not the entire nation, but a certain house on Coronado Street does.
Surprisingly, there's been no official presidential proclamation or Act of Congress designating the day. Who would have guessed? Perhaps Jolly Time and Orville Redenbacher had something to do with its creation.
No matter. Popcorn's a great snack.
National Popcorn Day falls on a school night, so in order to celebrate it with my two favorite granddaughters (my only two granddaughters), I'm having a sleepover tonight.
Theater #2: Pollyanna (That's where you'll find us.)
A wispy (Or is that wimpy?) arrangement in a plastic popcorn box sits next to the TV. Remember when televisions weren't flat?
(You'd think I would have taken the time to fluff the pillows, wouldn't ya?)
cheesy popcorn, regular popcorn, and Cracker Jacks.
Peanut M&Ms fill another bowl.
Placemats are designed to look like giant tickets.
the impulse to add popcorn napkin rings was irresistible.
Young theater-goers can salt to taste and sip juice to their hearts' content.
The site even offers this downloadable movie - popcorn poppin' in slow motion!

Last Father's Day I think it was, I did a vignette sorta like it for the dinner table, cause hubby loves movies and he really liked it, and it was a fun thing to do.
That popcorn movie was cute too.
Sort of relaxing I would say!!

My husband makes the popcorn in our house on movie night. He drizzles it with real butter, too! YUM!!
ReplyDeleteYou will probably earn "grandma of the month" for that setup!
ReplyDeleteI love popcorn and Pollyanna, can I come?
totally cool and i just adore those popcorn napkin rings!
ReplyDeleteI just bought and watched Polyanna just the other day! I also, coincidentally, had popcorn! I loved your P post! I forgot to post mine on Wednesday night (thought I wrote it) and just did. No wonder I had no comments...ha.
ReplyDeletePopcorn and Pollyanna, a perfect combo. I wish I'd known about Popcorn Day. I would've wisked the husband and me away to the movies and splurged for a bag of popcorn. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect little stop on our journey through Alphabe-Thursday's letter 'P'.
ReplyDeleteYour flower arrangement is adorable. And so is the table setting.
I am also quite intriqued with the game boards on the walls. I've always thought that would be a fun way to decorating.
Thanks for inviting us over for the festivities!
A+
Cleaver idea! Thanks for sharing JoAnn
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I loved this. I just found your blog via BNOTP and wow!
ReplyDeleteWhat great ideas you've shared. And you have an Academy Awards page! I posted earlier on BNOTP about how my husband and I have been saving up stuff for years to host an Oscars viewing party as an annual thing and we keep our eyes open for new ideas. I love yours.
My sister and I have a new blog and we are following yours now. Looking forward to more posts.
Sincerely,
Eldarose
Looks like fun...cute placemats!
