On the 20th Day of Christmas
Today (well Saturday's) movie is one of our family's favorite. We have to watch it every year, sometimes more than once!
A Christmas Story (1983)
A Christmas Story (Special Edition) on DVD for $13.99
"It's Christmas time and there's only one thing on Ralphie Parker's Christmas list this year: a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-Shot, Range Model Air Rifle, but many obstacles stand in the way of his dream because every adult that he confronts keeps telling him he'll shoot his eye out. Meanwhile The Old Man just got a major award (a lamp shaped like a woman's leg), and Mom is making sure The Old Man doesn't come near her turkey, Ralphie's friend gets his tongue stuck to a flag pole, and Ralphie utters the f-word infront of his father. Christmas is drawing nearer and Ralphie visits Santa at the department store in hopes of asking him for his dream gift. Will he receive it? Let's hope so.

I found this link, the actual house from the movie is restored and used for fundraising. Kindof cool.
I think this movie is played non-stop on either Christmas or Christmas Eve like on TNT or USA network. I think it's not quite Christmas until we watch this show. It's a little non-traditional, yet it is more like everyone's Christmas I think instead of the perfect ones!
