I hate to admit it…

But I’ve never seen A Christmas Story.

I know it’s supposed to be a new holiday classic and all, but the preview always rankles me. A whiny kid and a bunch of cold-hearted adults in lots of uncomfortable family and gift-angsty moments. It seems like a cringer on the order of
Meet the Fockers, which I also have no interest in seeing.

In my defense, I’d like to tell you all how much I love Egg Nog.
Mmn, how to put this: if Egg Nog were a woman, I’d CENSORED CENSORED and CENSORED.

  1. If you haven't seen "A Christmas Story", you must be making a concious effort to avoid it, since it airs almost everyday, starting the day after Thanksgiving, and plays on at least 100 different channels, 24 hours a day, until the day after Christmas.

    I love that movie. Drink alot of eggnog, and go watch it!

    Btw, I saw your name on Squirrleymojo, and I occasionally lurk here. I've enjoyed your blog.

  2. Ok. Yes. I like _A Christmas Story_. Yes. You should watch it.

    There. Are you happy??!?

    You should work for the CIA.

    You don't know Christmas until you know "the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window" . . .

  3. What the hell is wrong with you, man? And how is it that Cindy hasn't made you watch it yet? Unless... gasp... don't tell me she hasn't either?

  4. I have to admit, I don't care of it myself. Yes, my friends and family constantly berate me for that, and every couple of years I break down and watch it again thinking, I must have seen it in the wrong frame of mind, in a bad mood, on an off day, without drinking a few beers first, etc. And each time I come back to the fact that I just don't like that movie.

  5. Once upon a time I too wrinkled my nose at it, but have since become a believer.

    No amount of cajoling has convinced him to give it a try. But now that squirrleymojo has endorsed it, I bet he's scrolling through cable listings right now....

  6. Adding that this movie is A riot! I agree that you need to find copious amounts of eggnog and watch it.

    Or else...

    it'll shoot yer eye out

    ...and its not as whiney and cold hearted as the previews make it out.
