Posts: 2,203My Hubby Loves the movie" Christmas Story" We had been trying to remember what Ralfie's little brothers name was. As soon as we remembered, we moved onto the next ' Christmas Story" related topic... the red rider bb gun. Hubby was saying how cool it would be to find one but how the would be far too expencive. We went down an asile and they were there! for $30 LOL! Jenn

Ruby Mountain BearsI think there are scenes from everybody's childhood in there somewhere!LOL
And so much of it still happens today!
My Friend went to her parents house for Thanksgiving dinner, Her husband had taken the kids to visit his family and we all had to work. Anyway, they had a lovely Dinner and had left the remainder of the turkey on the counter to cool before putting up the leftovers, Her dog stole the Turkey and ran outside with it. HA HA HA!! We were all laughing about a Christmas story for Days.!!!

Posts: 3,177OH I LOVE THAT MOVIE TO BITS 
I still search the tv listings every Christmas to see if it is on. I love the bit where the little kid is sooo trussed up in his winter clothes that he can't put his arms down he he he....
....and the part where the father wins that hideous 'leg' lamp HA HA HA
I'm so glad that we are not the only ones who love the movie - what a cult classic :dance:
Penny :hug:
Gatehouse GalleryHelp!! I've never heard of this movie and it sounds great. Is it like a 'National Lampoon' Christmas Vacation (you know with Chevy Chase as Mr Griswold) or more subtle and who's in it.
I'm trying to work out if maybe the movie has another title here(some have)
Posts: 2,203Its called" A Christmas Story.
Posts: 8,574ooh Penny the "I can't put my arms down" bit is my favourite too.
That and the visit to Santa. I HATED Father Christmas when I was little - I liked the idea of him but when it came to sitting on his knee and having his photo taken - ugh! All the photos of my bro and sis sitting on santa's knee are really cute - as they are similar in age the two of them are always together looking nice and smiley. 8 years later and I'm there stiff as a board grimacing at the camera!!!
Baird'sBears:dance: WooHoo! I love A Christmas Story!
We never miss watching it at Christmas, as well as the National Lampoon Christmas movie.
The actress who plays Ralphie's teacher is a neighbor and friend of mine, Teddi Moore. She was very pregnant during the filming. The little boy she was carrying (Noah) is now almost 23!

That movie is so funny! DH loves it. 
We watched it on TBS last year when they played it 24 hours straight.
I saw the leg lamp in a catalog along with other Christmas Story related items.
Eileen,
That's funny that your neighbor played the teacher. Do they watch the movie in her house?
Baird'sBears I never thought to ask! I'll probably catch up to her wometime during the holidays, so I'll pose the Q.
Teddi did say that Christmas Story was lots of fun to work on! Actually she's the exact opposite of the teacher character. Very slim, [INVALID] and sultry, even after all these years.
The parade and street scenes were shot in Toronto--you can see Toronto streetcars and postal boxes.
