Watching THE CHRISTMAS STORY

Ralphies mom tells him "you love red cabbage Ralphie". (He doesn't).

I laughed. I use to hate when my mom would say similar to me when we had_______

her meatloaf.

I love my meatloaf, hers...not so much. She used crackers & it seemed soggy to me.

Did you ever go through that?

Oh fuuuuudge! LOL We're watching, too.

Merry Christmas @qualitygal!

Fate whispers to her, "You cannot withstand the storm." She whispers back, "I am the storm."

Right now I have Hallmark Movies & Mysteries on with their nice music and the fireplace with the dogs and cats. Will probably watch some of the "Christmas Story" as it is a favorite of DH. He says he never had a BB gun but can relate a lot of it to his childhood. He even says that's how you dealt with bullies in those days, and he had a Captain midnight decoder ring. The messages were things like "help your Mother do the dishes" and such.

I've been watching on and off since last night. It's such a sweet movie, and so funny. Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all!

No BB guns around, but my dear father was always warning us "don't poke your eye out."

For some reason, it was a big worry! He'd be pleased to see we are now seniors who never poked an eye out. This movie brings back so much childhood stuff, doesn't it? Such a great show.

I have been watching this since it was an unknown and most folks had never heard of the movie. I found it endearing and hilarious and I watch it every year. Jean Shepherd's narration is wonderful.

The days of department store Santas is a wonderful memory.
