It was there and then it was gone. Gosh, I liked that cute little movie. I wondered if I'd ever see it again. Now my 23 year old daughter makes all her friends watch it. There are timeless lines that you look forward to hearing each time and always bring a chuckle.

It's so much fun to watch it with mom too..that scene when Ralphie's brother is dressed like the Michelin Man just to go to school....my mom yells, "OH MY GOD THAT'S ME!" as her mother did that to her when she was a little girl growing up in Brooklyn. <br /><br />So much of that movie hits home like Ralphie getting his mouth washed out with soap. For him it was Lifebuoy for me it was Irish Spring. <br /><br />Then there's his father fixing that furnace and that just reminds me of my dad. The whole "you'll shoot your eye out" is just a classic line parents have been telling their kids since the beginning of time. That movie brings out the Ralphie in all of us!

I agree with the previous commenter, it's interesting how many classics (Christmas classics or not) weren't succesul at first.<br />Don't forget to read my contribution to the blogathon! :)<br />Greetings!Lêhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419693749682458647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9167699633284989840.post-68482178955757860112013-12-20T12:21:55.697-08:002013-12-20T12:21:55.697-08:00Funny reading through these and realizing how many...Funny reading through these and realizing how many Christmas movies didn't quite "stick" with audiences when they first came out--I guess that's what happens when you only have one chance in the year to make it happen!
