I took
these photos this past summer in Hammond, Indiana where my husband's
awesome Grandma and Aunt live (and where he spent many summers
growing up). A Christmas Story was based on Jean Shepherd's
book of short stories based on his experiences growing up in Hammond
(fictionalized as “Hohman” in the film). Grandma and Grandpa
were friends of the real-life “Flick,” who got his tongue stuck
to the pole in Shepherd's story. Grandma says it really happened.
Today is her 90th birthday.
Enjoy
the Christmas holiday, all . . . and be sure to drink your Ovaltine!

What if I want…everything?! Loved your post. And thanks for the cool photos and commentary. A Christmas Story: great. I think I'm going to pull it down from our bookcase!
Forever frozen in place. Now I'm trying to dream up the ultimate 'all I want for Christmas.' The old references made me smile.
Hope yours do as well, Claudia!
