We love a good Christmas film here, but this one seems to have passed us by until now. We watched it last night with a bottle of wine and really enjoyed it. Very funny in parts, and with a warm and affectionate atmosphere throughout, it knocks more modern efforts for six. Darren McGavin is on top form as Dad and in fact everyone is just great. I love the way everyone in town tells Ralphie he'll 'shoot his eye out' if he gets the BB gun for Christmas, and he very nearly does! And of coures there are the local trouble-causers who get their just rewards as must always be the case. If you haven't seen this, go get it.
