What is your favorite Christmas Tradition??

@jessc.994 Год назад

One of my favorite traditions from childhood was “Christmas Camping.” Early in December, everyone on my mom’s side of the family (all of the great aunts and uncles, cousins, etc.) would get together for a family reunion at an old Girl Scout cabin, and we would stay there together for a few days in the bunk beds there. The older relatives would go into the woods and make a Christmas tree out of tons of fallen branches, and us kids would cut out paper snowflake and coloring paper decorations to hang on it. We played in the snow and went sledding, played tons of board games, and we always had a huge white elephant gift exchange with everybody. It was always a great way to kick off the Christmas season😊

@tinahastie Год назад

I love most things about Christmas, especially cooking together with my Mom and sister and swimming in the late afternoon (summertime here during Christmas). Being Christian, it has an extra special meaning for me. 🙂

@violentlycreamy Год назад

mom saying she didn't wanna waste electricity when turning off the lamp while every other light in the house was on, is one of those small hilarious moments.

@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 Год назад

This took place around ‘39-‘40, before the US became involved in WWII. The reason the Wizard of Oz was so prevalent is because the movie had just been in theaters the year before (1939) & was very popular at the time. Seat belts weren’t really a common thing until the early-mid 1970’s & most states didn’t have seat belt laws until the late 80’s or early 90’s.

@wulf76 Год назад

i was born in 76 and my mother told me seat belts were an option in most cars where she lived when she was a kid & i can remember 8 track players

@kathyastrom1315 Год назад

I remember being in kindergarten in 1971-2 and riding in the front seat of the car with no seat belt even available. A few years earlier, my brother was in the same seat and broke his nose on the dashboard when Mom was forced off of the icy road by a careless oncoming car.

@rs-ye7kw Год назад

It was even more recent than that when seat belts for the back seats became common.

@muffinamy83 Год назад

Thanks for this. I was yelling at the screen every time they'd say 40's lol Yes, 1939, the year WoO came out! :)

@garyseward1641 Год назад

The movie takes place in 1939. There is a calendar on the wall in the kitchen and you can see that the month starts on a Friday. December 1939 is the only December in that time period that started on a Friday. The Wizard of Oz was also released in August 1939 and would have been at the peak of popularity that Christmas.

@kathyastrom1315 Год назад

The mom turning off the lamp to save electricity is even more hilarious when the camera pans back to show that every other light in the house is on!

@kathyastrom1315 Год назад

I love that the Old Man was the only person Randy didn’t tell that he wanted the BB gun, yet he was the one who bought it for him.

@striderdavid Год назад

Yes! I love the his representation in this movie! That for so much of it he's grumpy or upset, but when he sees Ralphie's joy at opening that present he wanted so much, his eyes light up and he smiles and laughs. And then later that night you see him sitting with his wife, enjoying her presence and the atmosphere. You get to see the love that he has for his wife and family, rarely on the surface, but underlying all the other junk he goes through. And it's all worth it, because they are worth it. Always leaves my eyes a little wet 🙂 beautiful storytelling.

@migiplayz91 Год назад

Some people have a theory that the old man actually saw the ad for the BB gun in the magazine by coincidence and knew Ralphie wanted it.

@nancyomalley6286 Год назад

Ralphie-Randy was the little brother

@jainthorne4136 Год назад

Parents know. I'm betting that they discussed it and the mom firmly said no but the dad remembered what it was like to want a bb gun.

@victorsixtythree Год назад

I noticed right after Ralphie saw Santa Claus at the department store, The Old Man asked "Did you tell him what you want?" and then in a kind of coy way he said, "Don't worry. He knows. He always knows..." I wonder if The Old Man was hinting at something...

@StephyDee Год назад

Fun little fact. The narrator is also the one who co-wrote the script for this movie, as it was based off of moments in his childhood. He also cameos as the guy in line to see Santa that tells the boys the line begins way in the back. You listen to the voice and you'll definitely hear it 😁

@jean-paulaudette9246 Год назад

I think he used to do anecdotal radio broadcasts, somewhat like those of Garrison Keillor, in his Lake Woebegone Days program. There have been a few others of his stories made into TV or cinema, including "Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven Of Bliss," "The Best 4th Of July Ever" and maybe one or two others I can't recall. His name is Jean Sheppard.

@victorsixtythree Год назад

If anyone is into jazz, Jean Shepherd did an improvised narration on a piece by Charles Mingus called "The Clown" (1957): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f-b9I_UrRe4.html

@markmac2206 Год назад

also fun fact: i live 5 minutes from where he grew up and based the story on. and i believe the scenes at the mall were shot in Canada but it looks so similar to old time Hammond its amazing.

Darren McGavin for me(the Old Man)

@BonzoDrummer Год назад

The guy narrating this is the actual author. He was a radio host in Chicago, who would tell nostalgic stories like this. The reason it's so "slice-of-life" is probably because it's cobbled together from multiple vignettes.

@KabukiKid Год назад

He (Jean Shepherd) also has a cameo in the department store when they are waiting in line to see Santa. He's the guy who tells them that "the line starts back there." That man was a true raconteur.

@a.n.9800 Год назад

Fun fact: the parade scene took so long to film that all the background extras left and they had to get last-minute replacements. My uncle was in the boy-choir, and since my grandfather drove him he got to be one of the replacement extras.

I can't believe you missed the kid screaming "I CAN'T PUT MY ARMS DOWN" because it's the one quote from this movie that I quote all the time.

@ericrodriguez236 Год назад

During a reunion in California, the cast revealed that the duck scene was all improved. They had no idea there would be a duck brought out or that the owner would chop the head off. 🤣

@fightingfaerie Год назад

At least the head. The mom’s reaction is the actress’s real reaction

@striderdavid Год назад

So glad y'all watched this one all together :) The ladies' faces when Ralphie cussed at the Ovaltine ad were absolutely priceless 😂 Like y'all mentioned, I love how this movie captures what it feels like being a kid, how life and death everything feels. And the urgency, thrill, and passion of Christmas! Every year I try to remember just a little bit of that feeling to remind me how special the season can be :)

@valogden Год назад

This was my dad's favorite Christmas movie. He grew up at the same time and wanted a Red Ryder BB gun. He used to get tapes of the radio shows and play them for my boys when he took them camping. It was total nostalgia for him. The Wizard of Oz came out in the 1939 and so this was a way for them to advertise the movie. What was just as good was the Broadway musical of A Christmas Story. I saw the touring show and teared up at the end. It reminded me of my dad and how much I missed him.

@tallyp.7643 Год назад

The squeal/shriek from mom when the waiter hacks the duck's neck off ALWAYS makes me laugh. It's just a strange, funny sound and a funny moment. I've seen this movie easily a hundred times in my life, and I still laugh there. The Randy bits make me laugh nearly as much also. "Daddy's gonna kill Ralphie" in that pathetic whine just makes me wanna laugh at him and hug him at the same time.

@markmac2206 Год назад

the mom didnt know they were gonna chop it off. thats a 100% genuine reaction.

@Mrs.Nesmith98 Год назад

Schwartz's Mom on the phone ALWAYS made me laugh! it's so sudden and the delivery of her on the other end is hilarious. I also love when Randy goes down the slide and he just starts crying🤣 So many classic scenes in this movie.

@julietvelarde3816 Год назад

My mom, sister and I watched this movie (then with my sons and the Yule Log later) was such fun! We'd prepare appetizers, feed "Kitty " (Sassafras) and check on the turkey or prime rib, ham and the potatoes. Poppyseed muffins.

@trinaq Год назад

Apparently, the Female Elf was supposed to be a teenager, but the actress was in her thirties when she auditioned. When she responded negatively, they realised that the outburst was perfect for the character, so hired her on the spot.

@whitenoisereacts Год назад

@janleonard3101 Год назад

“Meatloaf, smeatloaf, double beatloaf…I HATE mealoaf!” Notice every time the family has supper it's meatloaf, mashed potatoes and red cabbage. That was a common meal at the time, and probably the one Ralphie remembers most, so it's in all his memories of family meals.

@kathyastrom1315 Год назад

Also, if you figure that this takes place in 1940 (pre-war but with military uniforms around due to the draft already in place a few months prior), then Ralphie would have been born in 1931, and grew up in the midst of the Depression. Even if the Old Man had kept his job throughout, I wouldn’t be surprised if they kept their spending as low as possible just in case. These are the things I think about after twenty-plus viewings…

@janleonard3101 Год назад

@@kathyastrom1315 My mom is 3 years younger than Ralphie and said that was a common meal because it was cheap. So I think you're onto something there.

@markmac2206 Год назад

i would love to see the old man look at the prices for meatloaf materials now.

Also that when the turkey is ruined….that was probably a lot of money back then. When the mom is crying over it I want to cry too….

@chrisg9196 Год назад

At 24:57 on the left is Mr. Jean Shepherd--the narrator and co-writer of the movie based on his book "In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash" My favorite narrated line is, "My father worked in profanity like other artists might work in oils or clay. it was his true medium. A master."

@stickamata8213 Год назад

All 4 of you should react together more often it's really entertaining.

@whitenoisereacts Год назад

That’s the plan

@jamiebollenbacher4762 Год назад

I'm convinced this movie gets better the older you get, and thus is mainly for adults. If you watch this a child, it really doesn't resonate the same way, even if it's about a nine year old. Really, it's examining what it's like to be a nine year old, but from the nostalgic memory of an adult. I know several people who've said they didn't like this movie in the past, who claim it as a favorite now that they're older!

@harmonicpies Год назад

I think Wizard of Oz characters were so prominent because this story is set in 1939, the year Oz debuted in theaters. So probably there was still a big promotional push, maybe merchandising for Christmas.

@TheHighestGood Год назад

The film was based on the book "In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash" by Jean Shepherd. Shepherd was the film's narrator and also played the guy who told Ralphie to go to the end of the line to see Santa. His book was somewhat autobiographical, made up of short stories based on his own life experiences.

@sakurap95 Год назад

I love that it’s such a simple movie. It isn’t about saving the world by saving Christmas. It’s a slice of life about a kid wanting the perfect present. That’s it. To me that’s the heart of the film. The perils and growing pains of childhood. Reminds me of my childhood. 😂❤

@PrinceofArfon Год назад

I like the theory that the mom told the dad about the fight before Ralphie came downstairs and explained that he was standing up to a bully (as pretty clearly evidenced by the power difference between him and Scut, his uncharacteristic violence, and his distraught crying), and then both parents agreed to act the way they do for Ralphie's benefit, being sensitive to his tender emotional state. For all their faults I think the parents would do that. The dad lets the topic of the fight slide by him unusually easily!

@whitenoisereacts Год назад

I love that theory. And it honestly makes sense

@inhumanmusic1411 Год назад

"Randy lay there like a slug. It was his only defense." The best line of any movie. The man you see in the line waiting for Santa telling Ralph where the line ends is Jean Shepard. The Author of the book this movie is based on and also the narrator of the movie. Whatever you do, don't look up Flick's movie career... This movie didn't do well on release but afterwards became a Christmas staple. You can actually rent the house the movie was filmed at and sleep over night in it.

Fun fact: Tedde Moore, the actress who played the teacher Miss Shields was pregnant at the time of filming, and back in the 40s a woman would not still be teaching if she were pregnant, especially if unmarried (as suggested by the use of Miss instead of Mrs), so Moore is wearing a fat suit under her dress. Also I love all the adults' performances in Ralphie's fantasy sequences. The soap poisoning scene is probably my favorite.

The movie takes place in 1939 according to a calendar that’s on the wall in one of the scenes. The Wizard of Oz Characters and Mickey would have been the popular characters at the time. It makes sense as well. It’s a time where we were coming out of the Great Depression and pre Pearl Harbor so the movie doesn’t get bogged down by those more difficult times.

I had a red Ryder BB gun when I was a kid. It was so low power you could actually watch the BB while it flew through the air. Since I wasn't exactly a bright kid, I once shot an old car tire and watched the BB travel to the tire and then bounce right back at me. I saw it coming, but couldn't duck fast enough. It hit me right in the forehead. Absolutely no damage done except to my pride. I had to face the fact that only an idiot would shoot a rubber tire without thinking about the consequences. I loved the 4-way reaction by the way. Well done!

Fun fact, when they filmed the scene with the tongue and pole, it was to warm in Cleveland for his tongue to stick to the pole, so they had to use a vacuum hose on one side of the pole to suck the tongue to the pole. Plus the snow on the ground is basically potato flakes

The sequel to this was just recently released and stars many from the original cast, most notably Peter Billingsley as Ralphie. And yes, there's a new triple dog dare.

My mother grew up in the Depression and in their whole neighborhood there was only one child whose family could afford to get the Little Orphan Annie decoder ring. You had to buy a lot of Ovaltine and no one else could afford it. My mother said that the child used to decode the secret message in front of all the other kids in the neighborhood but not tell anyone what the message was. When my mother was almost 50 my older brother searched out and gave her the Little Orphan Annie decoder ring. It's pretty amazing. Solid metal and intricate and impressive. It looks like a badge with a moving ring to set and decode messages. It made my mother smile and cry a little bit. I have it now.

This is a classic Christmas movie in my household as we got older it just plays in the background but this was so enjoyable watching the four of you who've never seen this

@romine777 Год назад

FYI, while preparing for the scene, the family heads to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. After the staff sings carols, they bring out a roasted duck with the head still on. Upon seeing the head, the Mother lets out a yell and begins laughing. it was essential to get an organic response from her. As a result, she was given a draft of the script that was different from the rest of the cast. Therefore, the moment the duck comes out, The mother isn't acting at all. Instead, she sells the movement without realizing it by looking at McGavin and saying, "I'm sorry!" before the waiter cuts the duck's head off.

As a kid it wasn't the Christmas season until the movie White Christmas was on TV, usually about two weeks before Christmas. They don't show it on TV anymore, but I have it on DVD. So watching White Christmas and making Tom & Jerrys a couple weeks before Christmas has become a tradition.

I love it when you do group reactions. It reminds me of me and my siblings, there's 4 of us, anyways I really hope all 4 of you continue watching Christmas movies.

The movie is based on a story written by Jean Shepherd and takes place in Indiana in 1940, during his childhood. The story is part of a larger book of funny stories he wrote about growing up in the 1940s, called “In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash”. My favorite book of his is “Wanda Hicky’s Night of Golden Memories”, another collection of his stories. The narrator in the movie is actually Jean Shepherd. He was also a radio personality and had a show of his own. The movie is funny, but nothing is funnier than his books. He was a brilliant writer and hilariously funny.

@Melissa-wx4lu Год назад

I watched this movie when I would wrap presents every year. It was like my personal tradition from back when I was like 8. I bought it on Dvd so that I could wraps presents whenever and not wait for it to show up on tv. I would always leave it on the 24 hour marathon every Christmas eve. I'm pretty sure I could recite this movie in my sleep.

@ryanfeit1420 Год назад

You should definitely watch "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase. One of my favorites. I saw it in the theater with my Dad and brother on Christmas Eve in 1989 and everyone in the theater was laughing so hard. "The Santa Clause" with Tim Allen is another good Christmas movie to watch. Great reaction guys!!!

my christmas gift that i had to have as a kid was an american girl doll when i was 8. i got it. i was so excited. i still have her sitting in a glass case in my house 32 years later next to the bear i got on my first christmas. both gifts from my nana.

@JodiesSideEye Год назад

A Christmas Story is my favorite movie . It's such a well written and wholesome movie full of nostalgia, I love it. Fun Fact: There's a sequel of sorts, It Runs in The Family (1994) not quite as good or funny but it's full of the same charm. Written by the same author/writer. It chronicles an eventful summer for Ralphie and his family.

@netherworlde Год назад

You have to watch The Muppet's Christmas Carol! It's having its 30th anniversary this year. BUT make sure you watch the original version with the song "When Love is Gone." It's the heart of the whole movie, but was cut probably because they thought it was "too sad" to be in a kid's film.

@theConquerersMama Год назад

For boomers like my parents, aunts and uncles, they all loved the Wizard of Oz details. When they were kids it was a huge kids thing that was associated with Christmas. That's when it would get shown on TV and before that they would have a radio show of it. When this came out it would send my whole family down memory lane, because it isn't year specific as much as era specific.

@benjamineckles Год назад

The mom was not aware they were going to cut the ducks head off right in front of her. That is her genuine reaction.

I played Santa for a fundraiser. We would go to people's houses and play Santa to their kids. 90 percent of the time the kids were screaming and crying but the parents just loved it and took tons of pictures while their kids were terrified.

@theawesomeman9821 Год назад

Back when my parents were anti-gun, my grandpa thought it was amusing to gift my elder brother, a Red Rider BB Gun for Christmas;)

@someonesane Год назад

The gift from my childhood that can best relate to Ralphie’s excitement for his BB gun was the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System). I name dropped that thing all year long… I’ll never forget that morning, removing the wrapping for the NES and seeing The Legend of Zelda’s gold cartridge. Best Christmas ever. Also, the kid that played Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) played was one of the scientists working in Tony Starks Arc Reactor lab, in the first Iron Man movie. Obadiah goes off on him, when he can’t recreate the miniature version of it, and he replies “I’m not Tony Stark”.

@RyneMurray23 Год назад

As a kid I had some trouble keeping up with this amazing narration. As an adult I love listening to his dialogue.

@shotgunnerB Год назад

Hey guys and girls, wonderful review!!, f.y.i, the old man that told Ralphie, the starts here, was the author and narrator, Jean Shepard!, it was so nice to see young people watch this movie!!!!🙋🙋🙋👏👏😁

@vovindequasahi Год назад

Great reaction! I think this movie is the absolutely best representation of what childhood is really like that I have ever seen. You just remember how it was! So awesome to that the one person Ralphie didn't think to ask about the BB gun was his father, and yet his old man had his ears tuned all the time and was the one that came through in the end! This is one of those timeless classics that works both as a child and as an adult... It's the same content but you just see everything differently as you grow older.

@glynnisi Год назад

Loved the four of you enjoying this together. :) First THE best toy gift I ever got was my Barbie Dream House when I was 8 yrs old (pull-string elevator & 3 stories high!). :) RE traditions- love them all. I LOVE Christmas Eve when everything is ready and pretty and anticipation is highest- perfect time to listen to carols with all lights out except those on the tree. :) Other fun Christmas movies... hmmm... Scrooged (w Bill Murray), Die Hard ;), White Christmas (sweet, very classic musical, so a real change of pace), Christmas Vacation, older animated shows like the animated original Grinch, Charlie Brown, Rudolph, Frosty. My personal fave animated Christmas movie is Mickey's Christmas Carol.

Fun fact: grown up Ralphie cameos in the first Iron Man film (and I think helped produce it)... He's the one who tells Obediah "I'm not Tony Stark".

@icelily1761 Год назад

I always thought the Wizard of Oz characters and references was due to the fact that since the movie takes place in the late 30's/early 40's, the movie "The Wizard of Oz" would have just been released in theaters at the time so it was hugely popular. James might have a point with the MGM thing though

@Sovreign071 Год назад

I believe for the tongue-sticking effect (because they didn't want to ACTUALLY freeze a child's tongue to a pole!), they had a small hole in the "pipe" connected to a gentle vacuum. So long as he didn't jerk his head away, it would stay put.

@whitenoisereacts Год назад

I love that they did it practically

@2apocalypsex Год назад

Many street cars had lap belts in the 1930s, but few people used them. These early lap belt models kept passengers from flying out of the car but did nothing to protect their heads or torsos. The Wisconsin born Nash Motors became the first company to offer seatbelts in 1949.

@aarongilmore1254 Год назад

I loved that you all did this as a group. I'm new here. Are you all siblings or just friends. . Your channel is so great. More Christmas movies, elf, Christmas vacation, I don't care how many times we seen em

@stephengaetano6720 Год назад

Great reaction to a great Christmas classic guys! Highly recommend National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, the Grinch (2001 with Jim Carrey), along with Scrooged, The Muppet Christmas Carol, and Disney’s A Christmas Carol (2009 with Jim Carrey), for some different takes on the Charles Dickens book ❤️💚🎄

@nickmanzo8459 Год назад

The leg lamp was actually an advertisement for a brand of soda called Nehi (knee-high). I think it still exists but I haven’t seen it in forever, not since I was a kid in the late 80s early 90s.

@chefskiss6179 Год назад

I just love the four of ya getting together, thanks for that. That was a joyous reaction vid for this gem. Radio Days (1987) is also in the same vein (childhood recollections) and really worth a watch.

@kathyastrom1315 Год назад

That’s a great film, with a very young Seth Green.

There have been many sequels to this made based off the writings of the author, however there is a revolving door of cast members. That said, there is one sequel you need to watch, and that is the newest one, Aa Christmas Story Christmas, currently available streaming on HBO MAX, that reunites almost all the surviving members of the original cast. The mother had to be recast for it due to the original actress having been retired for 15 years and not being in a state of health to participate, but they did reach out to her first. I have been hearing amazingly good things about this sequel, so I plan to watch it myself soon, and I am certain that as important as this movie is to my family, they will want to watch it as well. BTW, A Christmas Story is set in 1940, a year before the US got involved in WWII. The Wizard of Oz came out in 1939.

@andtheneverythingchangedwh5234 Год назад

Aw I love all 4 of you watching together!

@TangentOmega Год назад

Ralphie remembers his last "innocent " Christmas. The Wizard of Oz came out in '39. This takes place right before WWII (Dec 7. 1941), so Dec. 1940. The following years things would change forever. Kids didn't get in trouble for getting into fights. It was expected (for boys). Sometimes they would get in trouble if they didn't fight back. Rarely would parents get involved in these disagreements.

@Rytoon18 Год назад

What’s cool about A Christmas Story is how great of a perspective it gives you what Christmas’ we’re like back in the 1940s. Before Malls they had Department Stores and that’s where they met Santa. Higbees was the name of the Department Store!👍👍

@crystalscolza1663 Год назад

I think my favorite part is the dichotomy that he's old enough to swear up a storm while ground and pounding his bully and then 2 hours later, think like a young kid and in his head, that Santa is going to save him and get him the BB gun...lol

@alaynawhatley8412 Год назад

Man, this is such a great Christmas movie!! A classic my family used to watch on VHS (God I'm old XD) was "Ernest Saves Christmas." It's so funny and such a classic

@chunksaflyin Год назад

This movie was set in 1940 and Wizard of Oz came out in 1939 and it was very common to have major characters from current releases in parades. Great reaction, just found your channel and really enjoyed it. A few movies I've enjoyed around this time of year are The Santa Clause, Miracle on 34th Street (1947), Elf, Scrooged, The Christmas Chronicles but the one I watch every year is It's A Wonderful Life.
