When this movie first came out, my father told me that this was pretty much his life as a boy in a small town (Weed, CA) in the 40s... he was about the same age as Ralphie was when this story took place... My dad wanted that Red Ryder and was constantly told the same thing, "You'll shoot your eye out!"

GREAT Movie! Can't wait to watch it this Christmas.


It started with a sipmle idea, collecting one paper clip for every life lost, the feelings that connect us...are greater than those that divide us!

My father was born in 49 and he has always said this movie reminded him of his childhood. Easily a christmas classic.


I got rid of my teeth at a young age because... I'm straight. Teeth are for gay people. That's why fairies come and get them

It IS a great movie. If you get a chance, too, watch 'The Ref' if you've never seen it. It displaced 'A Christmas Story' as my favorite Christmas comedy...

Read the book on which it is based "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash" by Jean Shepherd. He was a great writer and storyteller.


If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

It's interesting to note that the kid who gets his tongue stuck to the flagpole ended up using his tongue in a different way in films when he grew up. He became a porn star.
