It's December and we're surrounded by Jean Shepherd's "A Christmas Story." We smell the stench of the Bumpusses' dogs and laugh as a waiter at Cam Lan's chops off the head of a duck. Who hasn't wanted a bee bee gun? It will always be funny when Flick gets his tongue stuck to a metal pole.
The part of "A Christmas Story" that I think about from time to time is what came after. The movie ends with mom and dad hugging and Ralphie cherishing his bee bee gun. The Bumpusses are still there and the taste of soap still resonates in Ralphie's mouth. It's a feel good movie. It portends well for the future of Ralphie and his family.
