Humorist Jean Shepherd reminisces about growing up in the Midwest during the 1940s with this tale of 9-year-old Ralphie Parker, who’s fixated with getting a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. Ralphie pleads his case to his mother and teacher, and even to Santa Claus himself, at a department store — but the responses are not what he wants to hear. The holidays aren’t complete without this seasonal comedy. A JT Premiere!
