I love this movie because it really helps you remember how Christmas was when you were a kid. It was just magical and everyone had that one present they wanted more than anything in the world. And the fact that the dad was the one who wound up getting him the BB gun, without consulting his wife, made it feel even more special because just because he wasn't paying attention doesn't mean he wasn't listening.

Seeing the Bandits with xx on their eyes, made me think of my nephew, Bryan. Bryan always had a stoic expression on his face growing up. His parents wanted to emphasize Jesus at Christmas, so they told him that there was no Santa Clause. They did explain to him where the character originated. They explained who St. Nicholas was and that he lived centuries ago. All was well until Bryan started school. Of course, when the other kids started talking about Santa, Bryan would "set them straight". That didn't go over well. His parents got a call from the teacher explaining that Bryan was upsetting some of the kids, AND their parents. So, they sat him down and exlained how other parents wanted their kids to believe in Santa. They told him that if the topic of Santa came up, he shouldn't talk about St. Nicholas living centuries ago and that he shouldn't disabuse the kids of their belief. So, it happened one day that they were out Christmas shopping at the mall. As they were making a purchase, the clerk tried to engage this stoic little boy and make him smile. She asked him, "Are you ready for Santa to come?" Without changing his expression, Bryan replied, "Santa Clause is dead. But, we don't talk about it." To this day they have an ornament on their tree. Santa Clause...with xx on his eyes.

Little trivia tidbit: The way they pulled off the tongue-frozen-to-metal-pole gag was a little hole in the pole and suction inside the pole. From the side view of the camera, the tongue being put up to a hole with suction couldn't be seen. The kid did a great job of looking like he was in pain (and panic). I learned that mistake when I was a kid; only with me it wasn't a pole outside, it was a freezer shelf. 😳🤣

If you want to know something funny. The kid that plays Ralphie grew up and he's the executive producer of the (at least the first one) Ironman movies. He also plays one of the scientists in the movie. Specifically, the bald one that gets chastised by the villain for not being able to replicate Tony Stark's arc-reactor tech and suit. He does reprise that role later in the franchise.

Fun reaction, Addie. A Christmas Story (1983) is one of my favorite Christmas movies. My favorite part will always be when Ralphie exclaims "Oh Fudge!" and ends up with Lifebuoy soap in his mouth. Another funny scene is when the dad says "Fra-Gee-Lay", when reading the crate that contains the leg lamp. Have a happy new year, Addie.

Welcome to my favorite Christmas movie, Addie! This is an absolute classic: fun, silly, nostalgic, and heart-warming. You mentioned all the Wizard of Oz references, and that's because it came out in 1939, and this movie is set in 1940, so it would have been quite popular at the time. Also, a new HBO movie came out very recently called "A Christmas Story Christmas," set 33 years after this one, and it has almost all the original cast from this one. It's very enjoyable and surprisingly emotional, and I definitely recommend that you watch it....the sooner the better, while this one is fresh in your mind. Thanks for another delightful reaction video, Addie! 😊

You cup your hands from your face to whatever object to your tongue is stuck to and you exhale. The warm breath will take care of the problem. So, as an adult if you're ever just curious and freeze your tongue to a pole that's your exit strategy. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. As always you're awesome ❤️💚☘️🇺🇦

For the record, they should have just poured warm water over Flick's tongue. Clearly the fire department didn't send their best... for the sake of comedy, of course. I think I was officially 'old' when I started to really enjoy getting socks as a gift. I had a pink bunny outfit not too dissimilar from Ralphie's, though it didn't have bunny faces on the feet. It wasn't purchased as a Halloween costume, but I only remember ever wearing it to go trick or treating one Halloween. I was young enough not to really care if it looked goofy and, since it was one of the few opportunities I had to go trick or treating (I lived in a rural area with few houses and NO children), I wouldn't have cared how goofy I looked, anyway. Some family friends invited us to come to their street (in the city!) for Halloween, and I absolutely raked in the candy. It was glorious. The only intense part of the evening was this one house... the owners went all out with spooky lighting and sound effects and, in order to get your candy, you had to take it out of a bowl being held by a man, sitting in a lawn chair amongst the creepy scenery and wearing a rather fierce looking gorilla costume. I was very cautious about getting that particular piece of candy, but I persevered. The woman who invited us just passed this morning, so... R.I.P., Judy.

The narrator was spot on with his voice and intonation, the movie captures so many of childhood's real moments and you're right all the kids in this are so likeable. This is one of the must watch movies every year for us just as are Scrooged, A Christmas Carol (both the 1951 and 1984 versions) and Its A Wonderful Life. The original A Miracle On 34th Street as well.

Peter Billingsley recently went to the house because they made the new movie where he is a dad and I guess the guy who owns that house now came outside and started yelling at him for signing autographs outside his house. Peter has gone on to become a successful movie producer who works with Jon Favreau a lot and they produced Iron man and Elf where Peter has a small part at the beginning playing one of the elves, he is the one with six white puffs on his red coat and has glasses.

I live where this movie is based out if. That downtown was gone before I was born basically. But it did use to be the spot.

You might like to look at "Santa Clause: The Movie" (1985) and "Ernest Saves Christmas" (1988) next year.

My favorite part of this film will always be Ralphie standing up to the bully. I was that kid. I was relentlessly picked on and harrassed when I was his age. There’s only so many times a kid can run to a sibling for help before they release their own lion.

I love this movie. It’s my go to Christmas movie. The best part is how the old man came through and got the BB gun for Ralphie. It reminds me of my late father who would come through clutch when it really mattered.

This movie and Emmit Otter's Jugband Christmas are the 2 movies that i have to watch every year. They're the ones that remind me of Christmas when I was a kid. I remember watching Emmit Otter when it originally aired.
