You may love them or hate them, but you always watch them.

It’s not just the time of year when the nog flows freely - it’s also the time of year when your most favorite and most hated movies appear.  Lets discuss them, shall we?

A Christmas Story

It’s the movie that gave us the kick ass phrase, “You’ll shoot your eye out,” as well as introducing us to foreign phrases like, “Fraaaaa-geeeeee-lay.”  I’m ever on the look out for a sexy leg lamp but it still eludes me;  I want my very own major award.  And who can forget the very special rendition of, We wish you a Merry Christmas? Fa ra ra ra ra, squeeple.

I still can’t turn that movie off, no matter how much I try.  It sweeps you back to being a child and all the bad presents you’ve ever gotten.  My grandmother always bought us underwear and why the hell do people buy socks as gifts?  And I don’t know about your father, but mine also worked in profanity the way other artists worked in oil or clay and that’s what makes this movie great.  There are so many charcters that are not unlike the people in your own life.  Everyone can somehow relate.  Love it.
