What a great reaction. Just to answer your question (from when Ralphie visited the department store Santa), I assume that the Wizard of Oz characters might've been a nod to when the story took place. Even though "A Christmas Story" came out in the early 80s, I think it takes place in the early 1940s, pre-television. So the "Wizard of Oz" film would've been fairly new, and probably a big deal at that time.

2022-12-02 23:21:33 +0000 UTCThis one comes with so many memories! They used to play a "24 hour commercial free" (meaning commercials between each round) marathon of this movie from 6pm on xmas eve to 6pm xmas day. We (my sister and I) knew that each round was 90 minutes long. So we'd measure when it was time to wake up our parents by how many "rounds" were left. We'd usually wake them at the 6am round....after watching this movie 8 times... Loved seeing it again because my husband hates this movie with a passion - so it's been a while!

2022-12-02 15:33:07 +0000 UTCWhat perfect timing! I was going to watch this soon as part of my annual tradition, and now I get to watch with all of you :-) What a classic! They perfectly capture things from a child's perspective, but the eloquent narration overtop makes me appreciate it even more as an adult. I have a lot of respect for Mom and the teacher, and Dad comes thru at the end in a big way. Hoping sometime this month we can also get Muppet Christmas Carol on your watch list??
