Among all Christmas movies that have come and gone for the past decades, ‘a Christmas story’ movie remains to be a staple film for most families during the holiday season. In fact, this movie has been run by several cable stations as a non-stop 24-hour marathon during Christmas day. Its popularity may have to do with its deep rooted nostalgia that is appealing to all ages – something that no other holiday movie can ever claim.

‘A Christmas Story’ takes places in the 1940′s, which most viewers may see it as a reflection to their own memories of how Christmas was celebrated years ago. This appeal may be the reason of its wide success. The film is based on the short stories from the books of ‘In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash’ by Jean Sheppard. The story revolves on a nine-year-old boy who dearly wants an official range model BB gun with a compass in his stockings for Christmas.
