When Ralphie is flipping through a magazine he stops at a picture of a Red Ryder BB Gun and instantly falls in love. He asks his parents who strictly state, “You’ll shoot your eye out!” His teacher even shuns the idea saying the exact same thing. The story follows Ralphie’s journey to convince his parents and even Santa Clause to give him the gift. It is definitely one of the funniest Christmas films with many classic scenes and memorable parts. The leg lamp being one of the most popular as well as the family’s dinner at the Chinese restaurant after their turkey goes on fire. This is definitely a movie  you’ll see playing alot on television.
