**A CHRISTMAS STORY** is way funnier than I remember ( movie reaction/ commentary)

[@eleven-hopper]

I love how the one person Ralphie never asked the gun for (his dad) was the one who ended up getting him it in the end. I find that little detail really adorable

[@FallenHellscape]

Regarding the scene with the tongue on the pole: the creators drilled a small hole in the pole and used suction to make it look as though his tongue was stuck to the pole.

[@broadwaybrook2319]

Thank you. I was wondering how they did that.

Merry Christmas! 🎅 🎄 Author Jean Shepherd, the guy who wrote "In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash", is not only the narrator, but the irate man waiting in the Santa line at the department store. The woman standing behind him is his wife, Leigh Brown. Fun Fact: In 2005 the original home used for the exterior shots of the family home was put up for auction on eBay, and avid fan of the movie Brian Jones purchased it directly from the seller for $150,000. Jones then spent the following year restoring the home to the way it looked on screen. The exterior was completely restored and the interior was renovated to match the interior of the home shown in the movie (parts of the interior were actually filmed in a Toronto studio). On November 25, 2006, the home finally opened its doors as a tourist attraction. Jones spent close to $500,000 in preparation for this grand opening. In addition, he also purchased a house across the street and converted it to a gift shop and museum dedicated to the film and the house.

My absolute favorite throwback Christmas movie. I was just about to break out my glass cup set with picture references to the movie on them. 😂😂

"Kids....always thinking up their next lie." HAHAHAHA! As usual, I loved this reaction, I love your channel and I am very grateful for all the hours I've spent with you, checking out some movies, while all around us the world is going crazy. It is a total sanctuary, a light in dark times. THANK YOU, Happy Holidays to you and your family.....and I just can't wait to see what the new year brings for you and your channel....in the following year, months.....weeks! Thank you, Lakia. Seriously, and sincerely.

[@LakiaJaiTV]

Thank you 🥰 and Happy Holidays to you too

@@LakiaJaiTV WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION TO THE SINGING JAPANESE GUYS DECK THE HALLS!!!!??!

[@videohistory722]

It was filmed in Cleveland Ohio. And fun fact: the house has been converted into a bed and breakfast, so you can have the full Christmas Story experience!

[@stillaboveground2470]

"Three blocks away, Schwartz was getting his." Ralphie bears false witness against his friend, just to get the bar of soap out of his mouth for a minute. What a great kid!

[@CarbonAnimationProductions]

this movie lives rent free in the back of my mind

[@videohistory722]

Peter Billingsley, aka Ralphie, still has the pink bunny costume and the BB gun.

[@mdragon12]

My favorite Christmas movie along with Jim’s how the grinch stole Christmas

[@lazellrichardson2382]

This is my favor Christmas of all time.. there’s so many funny scenes.. I can Never get enough of this movie..

[@TTM9691]

PS: I'm not sure if you figured it out that it takes place in the 1940s....not the 1980s! You must have! In the 80s we were watching MTV, not listening to the radio for our shows and series! :P

[@princessangel821]

The X eye scene in the beginning creeped me out too as a kid

[@doughnutthehamster7255]

I love how your leg was just vibin for the first part of the video

[@KJ.2019]

I love an old Christmas movie special this one 🎄🎁

[@Its.laurel]

My family watches this movie every Christmas in honor of my aunt who watched it every year (she is in a better place we're she can watch it with us) I never met her but I know she is a good person

[@diegovlogging]

Merry Christmas Lakia!!

Merry Christmas 😊

Ralphie looked like the Energizer Bunny in that ridiculous costume, aside from Deranged Easter Bunny.

[@bellapryn22]

Merry Christmas 🎄, I love this movie, had fun watching you react to it.

[@mamichula7878]

Hi Lakia a Christmas story is one of my favorite movies awesome reaction I can't wait for the next video

[@eizyaws]

Love your reactions! I feel like I react the same way in some ways 🤣. Can you do a reaction to FREEDOM WRITERS??

[@lizmunoz8155]

I love that movie!❤

[@fynnthefox9078]

Before A Christmas Story, the director made one of the best slasher films, Black Christmas in 1974. It's very good, I totally suggest it for you if you want some Christmas horror.

[@mayapowell5575]

They actually sell that lamp at Walmart now. Lol

[@drhall343]

Anyone else feel like Christmas movies age a lot better than Christmas music? 😅

[@angel204bby]

I think they had a vacuum type of thing in thr pole so it would stick

[@scientistservant]

One of my favorite Christmas films!

[@carlosspeicywiener7018]

I'm watching this right now. It's a tradition

[@fritzk3627]

Fun fact about me: When I watched this as a kid I thought "Fudge" was a bad word 😅

[@elishabragg2479]

I always watch this with my mom

OMGGGG me and my family LOVEEE this movie, we watch this movie and some other ones every single christmasss we legit have like 50000 leg lamp things, we got the life sized one in the movie too 😭😭 we even got the BB gun too, but it's kinda broken- we just use it to shoot the rats that live under our deck 😀😀

[@TangentOmega]

Is this m ovie set in the 80s?🤣 it is 1940. To release the tongue just put warm water on it. To film it, they used a vacuum.

[@potatololita2072]

I watched this with my mother

[@LakiaJaiTV]

Same this is my moms favorite Christmas movie

[@youllneverknowgorg]

I went to the Big Mo, if anyone actually knows what that is, with my best friend and saw this movie. I personally thought it was boring, and I actually fell asleep in the 44° weather

[@paschameleon]

it's actually 1940, just a little fun fact for the day.

[@christhornycroft3686]

Just so you know, you're not the only one. I'm white and I'm wondering why everyone in Indiana is entirely melanin free. I'm Canadian so I'm no expert on the state of Indiana or its demographics, but I grew up in Vancouver, Canada, and I was quite literally the minority white kid. I wouldn't change it for the world, so I can't imagine a place like this movie. I love the film - the dialogue is fantastic and the movie really understands kids, but diversity is definitely an issue and it makes the film seem less realistic to me. If I didn't see an Asian or Italian or black kid growing up, I'd start to think I was lost or in some kind of horror movie. I'd be the kid saying "oh fudge," and I would have said "fudge" or I would have gotten a beat down. In any case, Merry Christmas, or whatever you celebrate, make it a good one. Christmas is going to be pretty rough this year, I think. After this, I'm on to the Trailer Park Boys Christmas Special. Ricky still can't tell the difference between Santa, Jesus and God. I mean, how else does he get presents to all the kids in the world? Of course he's God! LOL.

[@FallenHellscape]

1940 America. There was a black child in the class, which is 1 more than I’d expect with segregation in schools at the time.

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

In 1939, the black population was around 9% of the total American population. I grew up in Kansas, in the 70’s & my entire elementary school had 2 African American kids. My high school, which was around 1,400 kids had maybe 30 African American kids, tops. There are lots of places in this country that have few or even no black people. You grew up in a major city that is much more mixed. In smaller towns in the Midwest, especially in the segregated 30’s, this is a pretty accurate picture. That’s why there’s so many crappy people marching around. They’re rarely exposed to anyone outside their own race, so it’s easy to make them the ‘other’ & fear them.

[@mirandabeaulieu7735]

this film is set in the 30s

[@Aj4youtube]

Ohh fudge!

[@timroebuck3458]

Pink bunny pajamas? They should be arrested for child abuse.
