Every year, my whole family gets together sometime before Christmas day. We gather in the family room, with the tree glowing in the corner, order some Chinese food, and watch A Christmas Story. It doesn't matter that we all know all the words, or that we've all seen it dozens of times before - in fact, it makes it even better. We all laugh at 'Mommie's little piggy' and the pink bunny suit, at the furnace fighting and the traumatic Santa episode. Together. It's not just our Christmas movie, it's part of the family.
