This isn't exactly a story from my own childhood, but I identify with it just the same. "You'll shoot your eye out!" "Fa-ra-ra-ra-ra!" Santa's big black boot. "Red Ryder BB Gun with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time." The dreaded Scott Farkas. "Only I didn't say fudge.'" The tongue on the flagpole. And the presents under that beautiful tree. Ralphie, you make me feel like a kid every time I see this film.
