A Christmas Story (1983)

Streaming on HBO this year.
What is the Christmas season without watching this classic?
The narration does an excellent job of capturing the enormous excitement and joy of Christmas in the eyes of a child.
I do wonder however, do children today get this excited anymore? I mean they get toys and stuff year round now.

Even though I was a child in the 60s-70s, I can totally relate to how a childs life was portrayed in the movie.

Is swearing what he was actually doing? The narrator describes it as being strange tongues.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. My most favorite Christmas film is Ernest Saves Christmas.
