Horrified, I heard myself blurt it out! I want a

Ooooh!

No. You'll shoot your eye out.

Oh no! It was a classic mother, BB-gun block. "You'll shoot your eye out!" That deadly phrase honored many times by hundreds of mothers was not surmountable by any means known to Kid-dom, but such as my mania, my desire for a Red Ryder carbine, that I immediately began to rebuild the dike.

Heh, I was just kidding, even though Schwartz is getting one. I guess I'd just like some

I couldn't believe my own ears. Tinkertoys? She'd never buy it.

i like a very few christmas movies...i disliked "a christmas story" at first viewing. i like the santa clause because it was funny.

i'd rather watch the black and white "a christmas carol" with alistair sim in it, or the muppet christmas carol. and if the 'rents had a dvd player, i'd take THOSE over to watch!

Those are also great! Another "Christmas" movie I don't like is Love Actually, except for the scene where Emma Thompson's character realizes that her marriage is ending after she opens her present and realizes the necklace she saw her husband buy was for someone else. But she pulls herself together for the sake of the kids so their Christmas isn't ruined. It's really powerful. It just seemed so real and poignant of what a strong woman would do in that situation. The rest of the movie was typical rom-com claptrap, IMO. Though watching Colin Firth is always a pleasure. :D
