Merry Christmas!!

“A Christmas Story” has been one of my favourite holiday movies since I was a child. I remember watching it on VHS with my family in the late 80’s and it seemed like no one else had ever heard of it. Classmates thought I was weird, and you just couldn’t find movie memorabilia anywhere. Now, this movie is a fan favourite and a cult classic. My Dad & I are huge fans, we know almost every line!

Last weekend I travelled to Cleveland, OH to see the actual house from the movie. It’s staged to be just like the house was during the movie, and to my delight, Ian Petrella (who played kid brother Randy) was on hand for a meet & greet! Although our meeting was brief, it was a moment I will always cherish.

Being able to see and feel places in the house that were shared by the actors in the movie was an unbelievable experience! The current owner of the house has done a fantastic job with props like furniture, wallpaper and antiques to make it feel like you’re at the “Parker’s”.

As well as the house, there’s a museum dedicated to actual movie props like wardrobe pieces, scripts and toys used in the film.

To have visited “A Christmas Story” house was a fantastic way to start off my holidays! I wish you a very Merry Christmas filled with fond memories of the past, and wonderful memories made for future reminiscing with family and friends. I also hope that like Ralphie in the movie, you get what you wished for this Christmas.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas movies are a must-have in my household. Each year I watch the same ones over and over. My favourites are “A Christmas Story”, “The Santa Clause” and “Home Alone”.

If you’re going to curl up with your fiance and loved ones this season, why not watch a Romantic Christmas movie? Nothing says “I love you” more than the holidays.

Love Actually (2004)

The Holiday (2006)

The Family Stone (2005)

Serendipity (2001)

Tis the season for shopping for and receiving gifts. Christmas is a time where the malls are full and your wallet is empty. Christmas is also a time of year when some limited edition items are available, especially dishware and entertaining pieces. If you’re getting married next year, perhaps you can add some of your “must have weddings gifts” that are only available this time of year to your Christmas wish list. Tell Uncle Wallace what you would like for Christmas instead of him guessing and you get his and her matching sweaters!
