Peace
on earth?
Good
will toward men?
Your
two front teeth?
An
Official Red Ryder, Carbine Action, Two-hundred Shot, Range Model Air
Rifle?
Whatever
it is, I hope you get it.

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!
