People love this movie or hate it. It's my my very favorite Christmas movie. The Era it's based in is the Era my folks, aunts and uncles grew up in. We watched it as a family every year.
Having no children, most of my family being gone and recently divorced, it's been a rough holiday season for me. This movie cheered me up. Merry Christmas Planeteers!!! |

Bump for 12 years of tradition.

I've finally gotten old enough to find the mom on here kinda hot.
|
This movie sucks so bad.
Should be a 24 hour Christmas Vacation marathon instead. |

It's a Christmas tradition at our house to watch A Christmas Story, A Christmas Vacation and Die Hard. All three are great movies!

We cut the cord, so I had to stream the movie this year while wrapping presents last night. It's a tradition I enjoy. I watched Merry Christmas Charlie Brown this morning, It's a Wonderful Life this afternoon and will be watching Christmas Vacation this evening.
Merry Christmas everyone. |
The Chicago Bears. Terror of the Midway. More like Chicago Chipmunks.
They still haven't had a good QB. |
The parents are so great in their roles. The dad especially. And the narrator is what make the movie for me.

I usually watch this but did not watch very much of it this year.
I decided on The Princess Bride tonight |

each year when I open a random gift from a random relative etc, my wife will look at me and can tell I'm thinking ".....a can of Simonize" while I pretend to be excited about it; just like the Dad in a Christmas Story.
"Stay away from that Turkey...it's got another hour to cook. You'll get worms" is also another line my wife will randomly say when she's in the middle of cooking something and I'm picking at it. The Old Man's recation to the dogs stealing his much anticipated turkey;; he was so pisssed, he could barely talk. LMAO The old man has a ton of subtle facial expressions that are just awesome. |
Love the movie, but since it is played continuously on Xmas every year, I really don't watch it all that much. It'll probably happen more when I have kids, and my nieces and nephews get a little older but now, I don't watch it much (that with the majority of xmas movies)
|
It's that time of year again. Just started on TBS.
You'll shoot your eye out, kid. |

Peter Billingsley, who played Ralphie, has gone on to be a producer in Hollywood with a lot of credits to his name. He doesn't act much but he has an uncredited role as the elf Ming Ming in the movie Elf with Will Farrel. Ming Ming is the 'supervisor elf' in this scene:

Think he was in a movie with Vince Vaughan as well?

A quick trivia question.
How long did it take Ralphie's father to change the tire when he said " No fair Googling. |

It's okay.
I tried to watch it last night and got bored and turned it off. Just not in the Christmas mood this year. |

Finally got to watching a Christmas story Christmas. Expected it to suck and took me a while to get into it, but actually good comfort watching. If just to see a lot of the original cast again as they got old
