Welcome to Litsy!

Every year I watch this movie and I think about seeing it in the theater in 1983 with my friends Marty and Kathy. And I remember how Marty said, “That was the worst movie I‘ve ever seen. I‘m so glad I never have to see it ever again.” And I laugh and laugh. 😄

Merry Christmas and be sure to drink your Ovaltine!

I found the book to be wildly entertaining. The narrator did a good job with it, but some of the sound effects got in the way.

Over the past couple of days, I‘ve watched A Christmas Story, Elf (on the big screen!), 3 episodes of Frasier, and one Bob‘s Burgers.

This is my favorite Christmas movie and one of my favorite books. It‘s my second read through and boy am I happy I read it again. When I was younger I was dissatisfied with the story but as I read it this time I realized the magic was beyond Christmas and not all neighbors are perfect. It‘s going to become a tradition to read this yearly and watch the movie 😁

Here is the points breakdown for #WinterGames #GhostsOfXmas I will need your point totals for the first half by the 19th and your final total by Jan. 3rd. And feel free to tag me in your posts. I love to see how everyone is doing.

Presents all wrapped, cookies all baked, and menu for Christmas all planned out. Sitting down enjoying Christmas movies with the family, and making Gingerbread Houses. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! Happy Holidays for all!

We watched A Christmas Story Christmas last night, which I highly recommend! It was a great love letter to the first film & we all enjoyed it! I brought this out to show the kids, which is 4 essays from In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash that were adapted for the screenplay to A Christmas Story. 🎄😁

Basically Christmas movie royalty!

Thought of you @CarolynM !! 🎄

The tagged book is one of the very few books I‘ve read from Indiana. I look forward to to everyone‘s recommendations because I definitely need to beef up on my Indiana reading.

I‘ve been to Indiana twice. Once to Indianapolis where we took a hot air balloon ride, and once to visit the highest point in the state. We‘ve also visited the Sand Dunes on Lake Michigan (I think?) #RoadTripUSA2022

OHHHHH FUUDGGGEE! 🤣

I spent most of December redoing my living room and decorating, resulting in most (if not all my books this month), being audio books. Also, side note, that‘s the “A Christmas Story Musical” on my tv. It‘s an absolute favorite in my house.

You‘ll shoot your eye out, kid #mistletoemsniacs #wintergames2021

Be still my twisted heart ❤ 🤣

Also got Christmas cards, when is everyone planning to send out holiday cards to Litsy penpals??

If you‘re ever in Cleveland, take a couple hours to visit the Christmas Story house. Later you can use your ticket stub as a #holiday bookmark. “It‘s a major award.” #fortheloveofbookmarks

Presents are unwrapped, brunch is over, and am enjoying my annual tradition of watching A Christmas Story on TBS during their 24 hour marathon. #WinterGames2020 #TeamReadNosedReindeer +6 pts

“Fra-geeee-lay, must be Italian”. I got my leg lamp up! All set for Christmas!

Listened to this one on audio! A bit different than the movie, but still interesting. #littenslisten #merryreaders #wintergames @Clwojick

Another audiobook down for #WinterGames2020. I wasn‘t sure what to expect with this one. I think I still like the movie more. +176 #MerryReaders #FestiveFlicksBingo #Averymerrybingo #cosyathon #littenlisten #Crushtherush #readyourway #Tistheseasonathon

Each year I light my leg lamp in my bedroom window. It is 💯 a #majorsward & my neighbors love it. #WinterGames #JingleBallers #SharedHolidayTradition #leglamp #christmasstory

Two days into #24b42020 and only NOW have I actually gotten some reading time, hence why I‘m only one hour into the #readathon & it took me three whole days to get through this 133 page book 😂 Absolutely love this. A collection of the stories of Jean Shepherd that were complied together to create the script for “A Christmas Story”. It is just as poignant and charming as would be expected from a legend such as Jean Shepherd. ❤️

For years I have spent Christmas Day watching TBS‘s 24 hours of A Christmas Story. This year I finally read the book, in addition to my annual viewing. I don‘t know why it took me so long to read this book, it was so much fun reading the stories that inspired the classic film. I especially loved learning more about the next door neighbors. #WinterGames #TheFilthyAnimals #TBRRead #HolidayRead

FINALLY able to find some time over the holidays to sit down and actually read the amazing stories of Jean Shepherd that inspired the beloved movie. Just HAD to share this illustration of the leg lamp next to the mini leg lamp my dad has (been visiting his house).

Watched this classic yesterday and forgot to post about it.... #wintergames #tmskellington #holidaymovies @Crimson613 @Clwojick @StayCurious

Merry Christmas everyone!

I love this movie. I grew up with it, I have directed the play and I own the leg lamp light. It is for sure a classic. And this week I FINALLY read the story it is based on! #AChristmasStory #WinterGames #JingleBallers #ImpulseRead #HolidayRead #BooktoMovieAdaptation

The living room at my parents' place is the unofficial reading room. Our plush Rudolph decided he wanted to join the reading fun 😂

#WinterGames #MerryReaders #HolidayRead I think this is my new favorite holiday read.

Day 18

My sister and I went to the “Enchant” light maze at Nationals Park on Black Friday. The objective was to find all of Santa‘s #reindeer and reveal a message on a card. When we passed the same reindeer for the third time, she said, “I hope the message doesn‘t tell us to drink more Ovaltine.” #hollyjollyreading
