Like most every one I know, my sister is addicted to 'A Christmas Story.' Every year, she plays it repeatedly from just after Thanksgiving until the new year. This year, the insanity started today. Not being such a fan myself, I have barricaded myself in my bedroom...far from "the soft glow of electric sex gleaming in the window." I'm not certain how I will handle bathroom breaks...wait I have earplugs. That should protect me. I have my TV turned up way too loudly, to prevent accidental exposure to Ralphie and his rampant desires for a Red Ryder BB gun. Must keep them from seeping through the walls.
I'm certain my disdain makes my sister think I'm un-American, as anybody living in our country for the last 24 years, clearly must be a die hard fan. Personally, I think one can only laugh at things being "fra-gee-lay" so many times. And no, it's not Italian. I guess I'll just have to embrace my ex-pat status and watch 'White Christmas' in peace.

Amen!! White Christmas is our new favorite movie....probably have watched it 5 or 6 times since thanksgiving. God Bless Bing! Everyone else can have Ralphie as far as I'm concerned. We can ex-pat together. How does New Zealand sound?
Hey, I did see a leg lamp just like the one on the show (but smaller). It might be a good gift idea so she can bask in it's glow all year long. Just kidding! I love you too much to do that to you. By the way, is it wrong to give gifts of alcohol to people in front of their parents? :o)
