I watch it several times each year. This is the 25th anniversary of the Christmas classic!
I really wish I had the money to have won the ebay charity auction where you could spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at the original house where the movie was filmed. It was an awesome prize pack that included airfare for you and 3 guests to fly to Cleveland, spend the night in the house on Christmas Eve watching the movie, gifts on Christmas morning(including Red Ryder BB guns, a pink bunny suit, bowling ball, and can of Simonize amongst others) and many other amazing little tidbits that relate to the movie.
I may have to visit the house if I make it to the National this year.

The winners would actually get a crate delivered to the house with a crowbar and a hammer provided and you get to keep the lamp INTACT! I am pretty sure the final bid was around 3500 bucks. The proceeds went to the wounded warriors foundation to help wounded veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

...my kids just love the "tounge on frozen flagpole" scene!! They alwsy ask, "does that really happen." :lol: :lol:
How did they make Flick's tongue stick to the flagpole?
They cut a small hole on the flag pole and had a vacuum hose attached that would suck in Flick (Scott Schwartz)'s tongue in. The hose trick worked so well that Scott was actually stuck to the pole until they would turn the hose off. Rumor has it that they actually played a prank on him one day on the set and left the hose on while they all went to lunch.

One of the most unexpected Christmas gifts I ever received was a leg lamp.
I got it two years ago. However, it is not one of those that you can buy. No, my cousin made one for me. He knew how much I liked watching this classic every year and found an old mannequin leg in the basement of his parents house (have no idea why a mannequin leg was in the basement of the house) and made the lamp for me. I was totally surprised when he gave it to me.
I'd take a gift that a family member made over one you could buy any day of the week. I plan on having that leg lamp for a whole lot of years. If only I could get the wife to let me put it in front of a window at Christmas time.

Watching this movie at least twice on Christmas Eve has been a tradition in my house since my daughter was 8 or so. She's 16 now and loves it as much as I do. My wife and son don't nearly share our enthusiasm for it, but they put up with it for our sakes.

My Brother and I started watching the Christmas Story marathon a couple years after they started running it. I still watch it, and I always will. With any luck my Daughter will too.... eventually.

He was also in the comedic gem "The Toy" with Richard Pryor and Jackie Gleason.
We had it on at midnight last night. It will be the background noise all day until the Celtics/Lakers.

..... I always make sure I've had plenty of Ovaltine.... ever since I shot my eye out. Eyeballs are fra-gee-lee you know.
My son is still stuck on watching Charlie Brown and the Grinch. It'll be a year or two until he's ready for A Christmas Story.
