Christmas just wouldn’t be the same without “A Christmas Story.” The 1989 comedy officially reached classic status when TBS began playing it as a marathon beginning on Christmas Eve.
Christmas Day with the family is spent watching this holiday favorite on direct.tv. Not only is it family-friendly, but everyone can identify with the dysfunctional, flawed Parker household, even if the movie is set in the 1940s. Dad is a grouch, Mom is sweet until pushed, and the kids are, well, kids.
Anyone who was ever a kid can identify with Ralphie’s obsession with the Red Ryder BB gun he hopes to get for Christmas. His disappointment is palpable when he thinks his parents decided the gun is too dangerous for a kid his age. Of course, he can’t be too surprised after hearing the constant warning that he’d “shoot your eye out.”
Even a ruined turkey, a substitute dinner of duck as the sole diners at the local Chinese restaurant, and Dad’s tacky leg lamp can’t ruin Christmas for the Parkers.
The holidays rarely go as planned, but one thing you can count on is having a good time watching “A Christmas Story” for 24 hours straight during the Christmas holiday.
