My friend Meli Faif Life
(who I swear is my long lost triplet)
magically knew that this would be my fav Christmas movie.
Oh it is!!!! I watch the marathon every year. I mean over and over and over.
I could watch it a hundred times and never get bored.
I do believe this is my favorite scene.
When Ralphie gets the pink bunny pj's from his grandmother.
Okay, I had older aunts and uncles.
One year Angelique and I received two pencils taped together from one of our aunts.
And another aunt gave us a HUGE gift!! It was wrapped so pretty. I could not wait to tear into it.
Only to find....panties and socks!! Mannnnnn....
But I love the way Ralphie obsesses over the gun that he must have for Christmas.
Haven't we all been there as a kid?
I know I did. You dream of it, pray for it, tell everyone that you are going to have it come Christmas morning.
Was there ever one toy that got away?
Ralphie was lucky.
I still dream of this...
The Peanuts Snow Cone Machine!!
I begged, pleaded, and prayed for this.
It never came. I should have gotten an " E" for effort.
I asked year after year..no deal.
So for the inner child in you, was there ever a gift that got away??
Hilarious, surely that pouty face on Ralphie is the best pouty face ever! ~ Angela
ReplyDeleteEasy Bake oven!!!

Yup, I love this movie too. And yup, we watch the marathon the entire time it's on. Every year.
ReplyDeleteMy gift I never got but wanted SO BAD was a pair of 'Turtle Bax' jeans. There were high-waisted and in 1974 or so were THE ultimate jeans to have. And I NEVER got them. Oh well, they wouldn't fit today anyway LOL!
I love your haircut; I wear mine short too and wore it with the spiky top for a long time. I'm trying something a bit different now but it's still short.
Thanks for visiting me; I just wanted to pop in and make a new blog friend. I'll definitely be back to visit again.
Have a great Thursday!!

Misty,
ReplyDeleteWanted to let you know that I am praying for your sister and for your family. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.

Hmm... I just realised what an indulged child I was, thinking back, there has never been a toy or present I have really really wanted and never gotten. Including a horse!! Don't get me wrong, we never had much money growing up, but my Mum (and my horseman Grandpa) made sure I never missed out. What champs!!
ReplyDeleteEasy bake oven was it for me, too! I adore this movie---fa ra ra ra ra, ra ra ra ra.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and father-in-law(who passed away 3 years ago) would laugh so hard. Even when alone- out loud (which I do all of the time- but different when they do it). This movie is definitely a tradition for us, and now ELF, as well!!! Merry Christmas!!

ReplyDeleteI am praying for you and your sister...keep us posted.

I have the lamp. But - it's the lamp on steroids due to the fact that it is 4' tall. So sad - so true.

Uh, just a classic! I think the tongue on the flag pole is one of the saddest/funniest moments. I am feeling you on the Snoopy Sno Cone Maker. My friends had one, so I was okay. We did get the Easy Bake! Score. I would have to say a Go-Cart. I know.
ReplyDeleteIt comes from NETFLIX today...I am so exicted...LOVE that movie...who would have thought that would be such an ICON of a movie for so many of us.
ReplyDeleteThe TWO gifts that got away for me where a pair of WHITE MAJORETTE BOOTS and a
TWO WHEELED BIKE...I gave up on the majorette boots...when I was about 8...and started asking for the BIKE....never got either one of those even tho I asked year after year after year until I was about 13.
I bought my three grandkids....a bike...one for each of them... the MINUTE they asked for them.

I have a cousin that quotes this movie constantly - my personal favorite scene is the tongue on the frozen pole. I remember a Christmas when I was 6 or 7 and wishing for a Big Wheel - Santa came through, too!
