Its affectionate, wacky, and wryly realistic portrayal of an American family’s typical Christmas joys and travails in small-town Depression-era Indiana has entered our imagination and our hearts with a force equal to It’s a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street. The holiday film A Christmas Story, first released in 1983, has become a bona fide Christmas perennial, gaining in stature and fame with each succeeding year. I’ll give you the synopsis and then my thoughts. The movie is based off this collection of short stories. I LOVE the movie by the same name and it’s holiday tradition to watch it every year. I wanted to do a Christmas-y post today so I decided to review a book that I’ve been curious about for a long time, A Christmas Story by Jean Shepherd. Merry Christmas Eve to all of you! I hope that whatever your plans are for today or tomorrow that it involves time with your loved ones and good food.
