I've been a giant fan of A Christmas Story since the first time I saw it, and I can't even tell you when that was. The only other movie I think that predates A Christmas Story as the big holiday movie was Star Wars, and well, I'm just of that age.
I was sent this story today about a guy who bought the bought the house from the movie and turned it into a museum of sorts. Seems the whole town now is starting to get in the act - it's a good read.
Also, I'm pretty sure that WTBS still does the 24 hours of A Christmas Story, for those of you who just can't get enough of such nuggets like "You'll shoot your eye out!"
If you really want to get a jump start on your holidays (I guess it's not even really a jump start, but it still feels early to me somehow), you can come by TBPAC on Friday night for our Holiday Madness sale, where we'll be showing A Christmas Story on the riverwalk. Our last even, The Holy Grail, was very well attended. Grab a blanket and come on down!

My brother, Jon, and I have always loved that movie. Not only because it's a great movie, but because it's educational too. Don’t believe me?
- Life lesson #1: Tongues stick to cold metal
- Life lesson #2: BB guns are dangerous
- Life lesson #3: Swearing = Soap
- Life lesson #4: Chinese restaurants are open on Christmas
- Life lesson #5: Bullies have feelings too
- Life lesson #6: Fuzzy animal PJs are NEVER a good gift…NEVER
- Life lesson #7 (for the guys): Don't help decorate the house with your "major award." Odds are it's tacky and/or offensive.

Want to hear something cool? On a Thanksgiving trip to San Francisco, while walking around town I noticed the "leg lamp" in the window of a store there. No lie. There is was, just like in the movie. Definitely was a retro store. I didn't check the price.
