Review of A Christmas Story (1983) by Daniel P — 27 Jan 2013

A Christmas Story is a refreshingly simple tale for the holidays.

All Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) wants for the holidays is a Red Ryder B.B. Gun. He must convince his parents, his teacher, and even Santa Claus that it is the perfect Christmas gift for children in the 1940s.

There's awesome comedy and this offers some real sweet nostalgia, we all remember a time where we really wanted a Christmas gift, and no one would get it for us. This is just one of the most memorable Christmas stories of just one of those times. Ralphie's a kid with a wicked imagination, who probably won't poke his eye out with the freaking thing - but his glasses might get broken in the process. It also teaches us the pleasant feeling of getting what we so desire.
