(NAPSI)-If you're looking for a fun way to bring the family together over the holidays, try hosting a home movie night.

Home movies help bring back memories as they let families relive favorite past events and remind everyone just how special time together can be.

Try these tips for planning a home movie night:

Theme Nights

Gather everyone in the family room to enjoy a themed home movie night. Let kids choose from themes such as vacation movies, holiday movies or special occasions including graduations and weddings.

Remember to add a little ambience by decorating the family room accordingly. If you're reliving your beach vacation, for instance, cut some palm trees out of construction paper and throw some drink umbrellas in glasses of pineapple juice.

Go High Tech

For much less than you think, you can modernize your movies by going high-def. Mitsubishi Digital Electronics makes an HC1500 HD home theater projector designed for budget-minded families.

It helps make a large-screen HD home theater experience more affordable, allowing most people to step up from fixed-size big screens to flex-sized home entertainment in high definition. The projector has a long lamp life, meaning it won't cost much to maintain. Plus, it runs quietly enough to let you hear all the details that help make home movies so special.

Family Favorite Night

Give each member of the family a chance to pick and watch his or her favorite DVD. Make the night even more special by letting the person who chooses also pick the menu for the evening. You might even want to mail out fun invites for the special event-even if you're just inviting the people in your own home.

Family Talent Show

You may want to hold and digitally record a family talent show, right in the living room. Help your kids find their special talents by talking about favorite songs or favorite sports.

Something as simple as a child writing a story and reading it aloud could make for wonderful family memories down the road. Collect enough talent shows and add on to them over the years. You will create a show that will become a surefire family holiday tradition.
