Happy Holidays everyone!!

Ralphie is just too adorable 🥰

A sweet story about a kid wanting a specific present and how to hint to his parents that he really, REALLY wants one. 

Really a gem of a movie 😊

FULL LENGTH REACTION | A Christmas Story (1983) [2023]

Reminder that you need your own copy of the movie to watch along with me since this is solely my reaction. The video is there so you can have an idea when the scene changes in case you need to sync up, but it is HEAVILY blurred so I don't have any copyright issues. Enjoy!!

Okay, so I'm at the part of the reaction when the leg lamp arrives. You instinctually did the "frageelee" joke, even before the dad said the line. I'm pretty sure this movie (which has a cult following) was the origin of the "mispronouncing fragile" joke. It's always interesting when reactors stumble upon movies which were the origins of jokes or pop culture vernacular. I recently was watching a another reactor do a movie in which the word "boomstick" originated from. The reactor automatically said "boomstick" before the character did, then was surprised when it was spoken in the movie about 10 seconds later. (Incidentally, you can also buy leg lamps now, inspired by this movie.)

I remember always talking about this movie through the other 11 months of the year after it came out. Over time the fun of this started to die down because they began playing it an entire day, Christmas Eve to Christmas evening. Then we started getting reaction videos from people who have never seen it. That brought the fun and the magic of the movie back to light. Last year we got a long awaited sequel to this. Previously there were two lesser known movies that never lived up to the original. A Christmas Story Christmas with Peter Billingsley all grown up. How was it? I suggested that movie to a few other reactors but no one else watched it. Your schedule is very likely full for the end of the year so maybe, just maybe, next Christmas for the sequel? All I will say is, if I have to wait a whole year to see a reaction to it, I will very happily wait.

Thanks for your reaction to Jean Shepherd's homage to childhood Christmas (he was the film's narrator). I'm familiar with the actors who played the Ralphie's parents - the late Melinda Dillon was in "Close Encounters..." and Darren McGavin when he starred in a sometimes creepy series playing an investigative reporter, Kolchak. The series "The X-Files" paid tribute to "Kolchak" many years later.

I'm glad to see you did a reaction for this movie. It's my favorite Christmas movie of all. I named my dog Ralphy after the kid in this movie. I also would like to wish you a happy birthday in advance. I hope you're doing well. 💜
