Ralphie Clerihew

You'll shoot your eye out, they said to young Ralphie
when for Christmas, he asked for a gun to shoot BB's.
Yes, it's funny to watch this poor kid's Christmas stress,
but don't you think once a year is enough, TBS!


For Andrea Dietrich's Christmas Character Clerihew Contest, 12/7/14

I just love this movie, and that was funny what you said about TBS!! Do they show it even at times other than Christmas? Congrats and thanks for your support of my contest, Rhonda.

Thanks for the placement, Andrea. Every year, TBS has a Christmas Story marathon. They show it over and over for an entire day. I think it's on Christmas Eve...too much! :))

Rhonda, thank you for your correction I'm not affended at all by the way I made the correction in farewell my friend, glad you enjoyed his tribute he was a good friend to me and my hubby, it just happened so fast. Drugs be it drinking or street drugs can be devastating. But he was a good man in his heart and we'll all miss him very much, cheri

Rhonda, good luck in the contest, I didn't watch the movie, but my boys did have their toy. I did marry a man that loves to hunt so it was hard to say no. Blessings eve

I was raised with a BB Gun. Didn't poke my eye out, but did almost put my friends eye out though in a game of cops and robbers. Yeah, they're dangerous, but then so is crossing the road at times.

You'll shoot your eye out! I triple dog dare you...... my favourite Christmas movie. We watch it every year. I just watched it November 23rd. It was my sons birthday and he asked if we could watch it together. We love it every time.
