A
Christmas Story
Shrine
This
movie is definately shrine worthy. Even thought it only comes on
one month out of the year, you can usually find it every day that month,
more than once a day. There's one day in particular that a certain
tv station plays it over and over again for 24 hours. It's usually
8:00pm Christmas eve to 8:00pm Christmas day. A Christmas Story is
a classic in my eyes. It's been on tv at Christmas every year for
as long as I can remember. The first part of the movie, the part
that drew my attention the very first time I saw it, was the part where
the one little guy gets his tongue stuck to the frozen pole. I watched
him get tripple
dog dared, and I was hooked.
That's not my favorite part of the movie though.
My favorite part is when little Ralphie say's the "queen
mother of dirty words", and his mom puts soap in his mouth. I
like when he has his little vision about going blind from soap
poisoning, cuz when I was little (I don't remember what I did) I had
to suck on a bar of soap for something. I can't remember if I swore
or if I did something bad, but I had to suck on that black ivory soap (GROSS!!!!),
and I had a similar vision. In mine I didn't go blind though, I died
from soap poisoning. Boy was my mom sorry!! :-)
If you haven't seen the movie, it's about a little
boy named Ralphie who wants a BB gun for Christmas. The movie starts
off with his last few days of school before Christmas break. He's
about 8 years old, and we all know how weird 8 year olds can be.
There's also this mean, bully type guy named Scott
Farcus (right) and his side kick (left). All the kids are scared
of this guy. Once he threw a snowball at Ralphie, and the little
guy went nuts and beat up Scott!!! I never knew he had it in him.
Besides school bully's and homework assignments,
there's always the problems at home. His dad won some kind of award
that turned out to be a leg shaped lamp! Needless to say his mom
didn't really appreciate the fine art.
All poor Ralphie wants is the BB gun, and it seems
like everyone's against him. His family, his teacher,...... even
SANTA!!! Here's a picture of Ralphie being kicked down the slide
by Santa.
And then stopping himself when he remembered
what he wanted to tell him.
At first the poor little guy thought he wasn't gonna
get his BBgun. Nevertheless, he did get some wonderful pajama's from
his aunt.
Just when he thought he had no chance of ever getting
what he really wanted, he unwrapped his final gift
and then shot
his eye out with it.
But as it turned out, he just broke his glasses.
No big deal. All was well.... until they went downstairs to find
they're entire Christmas dinner being inhaled by a bunch of the neighbor's
dogs.
Everything worked out okay in the end... Ralphie
got his gun, his little brother got his zepplin,
and they all lived happily ever after.
