Holiday Family Tradition of A Christmas Story

Holiday Family Tradition of A Christmas Story

I appreciate the guest post, Ignacio Phillips

The holiday season is here again, and with Christmas coming right around the corner, my family and I, wait in anticipation for all of our favorite Christmas movies to air on Satellite TV. Sitting on the couch with my family by my side, we flick on the new High Definition television, and prepare to watch our favorite non-animated Christmas special, "A Christmas Story."

You know the one, where the kid wants the Red Rider BB-gun, but his mother tells him that he's going to shoot his eye out, and he does! That's only one of the reasons I love that movie so much. Another reason I love the movie,"A Christmas Story," is because it reminds my family and I, that we aren't the only family in the world that goes through problems during the holidays and nobody's Christmas goes according to plans.

Usually we can catch "A Christmas Story," right after Thanksgiving, and can find it airing on a lot of different networks, but it was a busy Turkey Day this year, and being worn out; we decided to wait until it came on television again.

If you're searching the dish for a great Christmas movie to watch this holiday season, and are tired of the cartoon and claymation specials, check your local listings for "A Christmas Story," and enjoy a wonderful, family Christmas special with your family. Maybe it will be the start of a long-lived, family tradition!
