Jody’s Jam of the Week: Merry Mosaic Films in the Park

Jody Fellows

Jody Fellows is the managing editor of the Falls Church News-Press.

It’s never too early to start celebrating the holidays (I’m pretty sure Tysons had their decorations up mid-June). If you needed any further inspiration to get into the spirit, every Friday night through the end of the year, the Mosaic District in Merrifield is showing holiday-themed movies as part of their Merry Mosaic Films in the Park series.

This Friday, Will Ferrell does his best Santa’s helper impression in “Elf” with “8 Crazy Nights,” “Christmas Vacation,” “The Santa Clause,” “A Christmas Story,” and “Sleepless in Seattle” rounding out the schedule.

All showings start at 7 p.m. and are free at Mosaic’s Strawberry Park.

What: Merry Mosaic Films in the Park

When: Every Friday, through December 27, 7 p.m.

Where: Strawberry Park, 2190 District Avenue, Fairfax
