Finally Watched 'A Christmas Story'

It was one of those astounding facts that turned heads at Christmas parties, but I'd never watched A Christmas Story until last night.  I hardly need to review it here, but the sweet, nostalgic, slightly askew, fond regard in which it's generally held seems about right, now that I've finally seen it.

Picked it up on the double-feature DVD that includes its 2022 sequel, A Christmas Story Christmas.  Maybe I'll watch it before New Year's, maybe I'll save it for next Christmas.  There's only so much sweet, slightly askew nostalgia I can take in one week.

ps: You might want to pick up a pack of these.  I was always a stickler about such when my kids were young.  Still am, for that matter.

pps: As if on cue, this showed up: Could A Red Ryder BB Gun Be Lethal?  15 minutes of interestingness.  Or if you don't have the time, just apply Betteridge's Law and move on.
