How did you first discover this movie?


I've first discovered this movie on TBS during the part where Ralphie's mother punishes him by sending him to bed and her yelling at him not to give her that look

My 4th grade teacher played it for us at school. I had never heard of that movie before then, and then asked my parents why they had never told me about it. I learned later way: they both hated it and dismissed it.

Watched it as a kid once on TV in the 90’s.

Didn’t remember much of it, only that it was really fun watch for the whole family and couple of funny scenes stuck with me for ages, like when the younger brother can’t walk properly because mom dressed him up in too much layers of clothes, and the one where a boy got his tounge stuck.

I watched it again for the first time few years ago, and now it is one of my favs to watch for Christmas.

It really is a classic!

By the way, has anyone watched the sequel? I read somewhere couple of years ago that there is a sequel.

It either TV or home video. I was too young to remember.

I just googled "christmas movies" and this sounded like a good one.
