The movie is about little Ralphie (Billingsley) whose mind is set on getting the Red Ryder BB Gun for Christmas. His parents,teacher  and any adult he tells he wants the gun give him the same reply "You will shoot your eye out"  His parents the chain swearing father (Mcgavin) and doting mother (Dillon) and his little brother Randy get ready for Christmas. Ralphie also fantasizes allot with hilarious results.From school bullies to "double/triple dog dares" Ralphie wants the gun and nothing or no one will dissuade him from getting it.

This movie has so many funny parts such as the "Triple Dog Dare Incident" to Ralphie telling his mother that the curse words he used when fighting a bully were learned from a classmate. The cable network TBS usually plays A Christmas Story on a 24 hour loop during this time of year. Unlike most of the most of the movies Keep It Oldskool posts there are not many who have not seen this movie.

On the off chance that you have not check out A Christmas Story and of course
