A Christmas Story December 18, 2009

A CHRISTMAS STORY – by Jean Shepherd. Adapted by Philip Grecian.

Nine-year-old Ralphie Parker wants a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. He pleads his case before his mother, his teacher, and even Santa Claus himself, but the consistent response is, “You’ll shoot your eye out!” All the nostalgic elements of the popular movie are here: the exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys’ experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin & Ralphie’s father winning a lamp shaped like a woman’s leg. Truly a holiday classic!
