Who doesn’t love a good Christmas story? The 1983 classic movie, “A Christmas Story” is at the top of my list every year. This year this classic Christmas movie celebrates its 25^th birthday.

Peter Billingsley stars as Ralphie Parker, a precocious kid who wants one thing for Christmas—a Red Ryder carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock. Unfortunately, the adults in his life—including the department store Santa Claus- squash his dreams, telling him “No, you’ll shoot your eye out”.

Meanwhile, Ralphie’s wacky family and friends encounter all sorts of mishaps during the Christmas season. Everything from blowing the fuse box out when his father plugs in the Christmas tree, to Ralphie’s pal, Flick, getting his tongue stuck on a flag pole.

“A Christmas Story” was written by Jean Shepherd and it’s based on his book of short stories “In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash”. Shepherd also narrated the movie, as a grown up Ralphie Parker, reflecting on that fateful Christmas in 1940.
