Retro Junk

A Christmas Story

Release: November 18, 1983

Cleveland, Ohio in the 1940's. What does every young boy want? You can safely assume it's not a video game system. No, it's a Red Rider BB Gun, the preferred weapon of every wild west imaginary hero. And Ralphie is no different than any other boy. But while his head is in the clouds thinking about how he can convince his mother to let him have one, he runs into life's little hurdles like a mean redheaded bully with yellow eyes.
