Christmas Story

[SSMike]

A Christmas Story is a good movie but not for 24 hours. By the 6th or 7th hour, I just want TBS to play something else.

On a side note I like: the Black and white version of "Its a wonderful life", the cartoons "How the Grinch stole Christmas" and the 2 Frosty the snowman cartoons. Also 2nd behind Its a wonderful life is "Jingle all the Way"

I'm glad someone finally mentioned "It's a Wonderful Life". It's just doesn't feel like the Christmas season without it.

I guess no one mentioned it since it's automatically number one. We normally don't watch the whole marathon obviously, but once or twice we'll catch it.

FYI
Jean Sheperd co-wrote and narrated the movie. Although it was shot in Ohio, it is based on his childhood life in Hammond, Indiana. Hohman High was really Hammond High, which is one of Team 71's four high schools. Hohman Street is the main street through downtown Hammond. His younger brother Randy stayed in the area, moving to the adjancent town of Highland.

Ditto. That was probably what got to me.
