A Christmas Story

I have never seen this classic movie. Only parts and pieces over the years. Tonight, I heard there was a 24 marathon where it was shown repeatedly. I settled in with the family, and started watching. It was really funny and charming, and right after the bully beat down I had to pause the movie and take a call. It timed out and I lost the show, the marathon is over and another year goes by with me missing this movie again. I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football. Good Grief! At least I got to see the lamp, the furnace battles, and the tongue on the frozen pole. Oh well, I guess there's always next year...
