As I suggested last year, I’m a bit of a Christmas movie junkie. I realized this week that if I was going to make the old “Christmas Clip Countdown” an annual thing, I better get on it (what with the staph drama in the house last week, it kinda slipped my mind).
So to kick things off, here’s week #1’s entry: one of my favorite scenes from A Christmas Story.
Funny little side story:Peter Billingsley – who played Ralphie – is still in the Hollywood scene…as a producer. Not too shabby of one, either. He’s partners with director Jon Favreau, and they made Iron Man together. See a story about Lil’ Ralphie’s thoughts on the Man of Iron (and what Ralphie looks like as an adult) here.
Will you have a Chinese turkey with a head for your Christmas dinner?
Also, it’s been cold in Chicago the last few weeks. Last week I saw a guy wearing the same hat that Scott Farkis wore. And the guy looked just like Scott Farkis. Weird.
Did he have yellow eyes? Yellow eyes!
