I've been told this movie plays nonstop on Christmas Day, yet I've never seen this movie ever in my life.

Playing it non stop today and every Christmas. Forever! A Christmas classic, rebel, gem! ❤️

This is my all time favourite Christmas movie, no doubt. In fact I’m watching it literally right this second, and it’s two days after thanksgiving. This movie is a tradition to watch when it nears Christmas, I love it so much.
*I can’t put my arms down..*

I'm a 80's kid and I watch this movie every year around Christmas i love this movie brings back so many memories

I watch this every year for Christmas 😄 It has that magic ability to never get old.

[davidhunter]

This movie is such a classic. My favorite line in the movie "You'll shoot your eyes out"!!😂

[Real_RUBBR]

This used to be my absolute favorite movie as a kid. I used to watch it at least once every day essentially, but most of the time I'd end up watching it more than once. Gotta watch it again some time

[Timelord]

If you haven't seen this film yet...I double dog dare you to watch it! 😉😊

My favorite Christmas movie that I watch every year. My son and I watched one year when it was on for 24 hours. I don't know how many times we watched it, but we drove my husband crazy!

It's hard to appreciate how funny the movie is, without the brilliant narration!

I first watched this movie at 10 years old in 1985, and like many, it quickly became a yearly tradition. Sharing it with my children was a magical experience, and now, with my grandchildren. Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas filled with love, joy, and warmth! May this festive season bring you happiness, peace, and countless memorable moments

One of my absolute favourite films. Made the year I was born, it's a simple story about a simple family in simpler times. It addresses the scary problems you face as a child but can laugh about in adulthood, while seeing that adults and parents have their own problems, thus deflecting attention from you as a kid getting into trouble. Difficult to explain but it makes sense when you watch it. Definitely in the category of The Don't Make Them Like That Anymore.

[dorothyriskowitz]

Watch this every year several times during the season. Have it on DVD. It’s a favorite, always watch the Marathon too. Never miss it. Thank you so much for sharing, really appreciate it.

I've been watching Christmas Story since my buddies and I washed it together in the '80s. As I got older, I come to really appreciate how the narrator, supposing to be the kid grown up. Speaks of the father's personality in such a legendary and respectable way. It's like he admired and understood, why his dad was the man he was.

Happy 40th anniversary of A Christmas Story November 18 1983

Jean Shepherd was a genius. Listen to his thousands of hours of extemporaneous radio shows going back to the 40's. I discovered him in the 70's. Joe frank is perhaps in the same pantheon but Joe's process is produce and polish--usually resulting in a brilliant gem. Jean just pulled it out of nowhere--week, after week, after week. Jean Shepherd was a narrative genius :)!!

[gupworld]

I’ve watched this movie every year since I was born. There’s not another movie that comes close for me, this is the stand alone classic.

[wpinbowler]

The scenes at the school were filmed in my hometown of St.Catharines, the school was known as Victoria Public School which has since closed and is now a woman's shelter.

A friend introduced me to this movie in the 1980's. A good friend. And a good movie! I've tried to encourage my elderly Midwestern dad to see it. This is in my mind an early "cult classic" that later became a phenomenon. Thanks, my old dear friend. And Merry Christmas!
