So I know that it's August, yes as in the middle of the summer August, but I was recently thinking about fanstastic movies, and A Christmas Story was one of them. I was feeling creative, and this is what came to mind. Let me know how it sits with you all...and what movies you love just as much, I need to refresh my Blockbuster Queue.
A Christmas Story
Ok, if A Christmas Story was like an Advent Calendar, here are the 25 things I love about it:
December 1- (#25) Randy in the cupboard –“Daddy’s gonna kill Ralphie!”
December 2- (#24) Lifeboy Soap “It, it was soap poisoning!”
December 3- (#23) The Wizard of Oz in the Christmas Parade “I like the Tin Man”
December 4- (#22) Theme essays “A + + + + +”
December 5- (#21) Toady little chronies
December 6- (#20) Randy in his snowsuit (getting ready in the morning was like getting ready to go extended deep sea diving)
December 7- (#19) Little Orphan Annie (“Pierre was in great voice tonight”)
December 8 (#18) – Footballs (“Football, what’s a football…no WAIT!”)
December 9- (#17) OVALTINE (“A crummy commercial” “Hurry Up! Randy has to go!”)
December 10 – (#16) Christmas Tree Shopping (“This isn’t one of those trees where all the needles falls off, is it?”)
December 11- (#15) Chinese Food Christmas Dinners (“It’s similing at us…”)
December 12- (#14) Aunt Clara (“Aunt Clara always sends you the nicest things..”) – even if you never see her, you know she’s probably amazing!
