A Christmas Story was released in 1983, but its plot centers on a young boy, Ralphie Parker, who is shown to be growing up in the northern Indiana town of Hammond in the 1940s. As a Christmas gift, Ralphie wants a Red Rider BB gun. He thinks and tries to convince others that this will be the perfect Christmas present,
but he faces opposition form his parents, his teacher and most importantly, his old pal, Santa. Christmas Carnivals offers you some of the memorable A Christmas Story Quotes.
- (Ralphie is seeing Santa, only he can't remember what he wanted)
Santa Claus: How about a nice football?
Ralphie: Football? Football? What's a football? With unconscious will my voice squeaked out 'football'.
Santa Claus: Okay, get him out of here.
Ralphie: A football? Oh no, what was I doing? Wake up, Stupid! Wake up!
Ralphie: [Is shoved down the slide, but he stops himself and climbs back up] No! No! I want an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!
Santa Claus: You'll shoot your eye out, kid.
- Ralphie: Every kid, at the back of his mind, vaguely but insistently, believes that he will be struck blind before his 21st birthday. And then they'll be sorry.
- Ralphie: Next to me in the blackness lay my oiled blue steel beauty. The greatest Christmas gift I had ever received, or would ever receive. Gradually, I drifted off to sleep, pinging ducks on the wing and getting off spectacular hip shots.
- Narrator: Oh, life is like that. Sometimes, at the height of our revelries, when our joy is at its zenith, when all is most right with the world, the most unthinkable disasters descend upon us.
