Reply #88: "A Christmas Story" is a movie that is loved right across the political spectrum.

Doesn't matter if you are Democrat or Republican you can discuss how much you liked the movie and you know, that's nice to have when the political battle lines are always being drawn.

I still don't understand the attitude of those who claim they have never seen the movie and have no interest in seeing it. How proud and self-righteous their attitude seems like somehow it makes them better and more noble than the rest of us. Fortunately, as far as "A Christmas Story" goes they are a small and humbug minority.

Even though I went to grade school 20 years later than the era of "A Christmas Story" there were aspects of this movie and its more simple lifestyle that rang true for me when I was a little kid. I enjoyed it right through its ending when mom and dad are sitting in the dark of the living room and watching it snow on Christmas night, reflecting on what a good Christmas it had been.

This is a movie that will always be new for someone. A good new.
