a holiday tradition

Every year I can't wait to get my fix of the movie, "A Christmas Story", it's been a family tradition for years, as far as I can remember...My father's favorite of all time. It is just one of those things that has always reminded me of those, Christmasy-in the spirit memories.
A few years back I found a Christmas ornament that had the famous "fragilllle" box and lamp in it. There was a door that flipped open on it and in the back a button to push, saying the lines from the movie, "Fragilllle, I think it says Fragile, honey!"...My dad loved it (his Christmas gift from me) :)...The movie starts Christmas Eve for 24 hours on TBS...Yay! Can't wait :)) I found a really neat cartoon of the characters in the movie (below) For my father...here's to another Christmas Story movie marathon. We'll be thinkin' of ya'...passing this onto Belle, hopefully (in due time) she'll love it just as much as I did growing up :)
