I'm watching it now and I'm thinking that there is some important issues, outside of Christmas, that are poeticaly/metaphorically/dharm... included in the story.
Examples: The sexy leg trophy that the Dad thinks his wife is jealous of, and the disapointment of the child finding out that the secret message of is Ovaltine club is an advertisment.

I think it's an EXCELLENT piece of writing - not only is it a depiction of life that a lot of people can identify with but it does hit on some interesting issues - like when Ralphy uses the F-bomb when they're replacing the flat tire and he refuses to admit the real place he learned it - he learned it from his father who used it every day - lots of great points - medicine delivered with a wonderful dose of humor as the sugar to help it go down ;).

This is my favorite Christmas Movie, the writing is outstanding and the writers humor is tops. I watch this movie every Christmas. Darrin Mc Gavin is outstanding as an actor in this movie and so are the mother and the boys.

Yes I do. The first time I ever watched this movie I caught it at the part where Ralphy used the F word and he was punished with soap in his mouth. It just makes me think of the days where people really punished their kids and it wasn't called abuse.
