my favourite Christmas movie

I am not going to be purchasing much this year, but I could not resist shelling out $12 to finally buy my favourite Christmas movie, A Christmas Story, on DVD. It is one that I've always wanted to have in my meagre DVD collection, but I could never justify spending $25-$30 for it. Caitlin had never seen it before, nor had our friends who were over for dinner last night, so we watched it together. I am definitely the one that laughed the hardest--I think I may have overhyped it for the others becaue they were not laughing nearly as much. Randy Parker's quest to acquire the Red Ryder beebee gun ("you'll shoot your eye out!"), the Bumpus hounds, the furnace, little brother Randy, the leg lamp, Scott Farkas, the bunny suit, the visit to Santa, and the legendary tongue-to-the-flagpole incident were just as funny for the 20th time as they were the very first time I watched it. Ah, memories...
