One Christmas I really wanted a Big Bruiser wrecker set that hauled the Kentucky Derby style White And Blue Hawaiian Shirts with the busted fender that you could repair. I’m sure the reason I didn’t get that was my Mother didn’t want me to grow up to be a wrecker driver. So sometimes I didn’t get what I want, but most of the time I did. I remember the magic of waking up on Christmas morning, depicted so well in the movie. There were big dogs in my neighborhood that sometimes caused problems. Decorating the tree was a big event. I even experienced bullies. All of that is in the movie. I like other movies, some that I can’t really relate to, but that’s why I think I enjoy A Christmas Story so much, as I can relate to it. I can relate to Christmas Vacation as well, as it recalls big family get-togethers from the 1950s and early 1960s, which I haven’t experienced in 50 years. Christmas movies I like without really being able to relate to them are Home Alone 1 & 2, White Christmas, and Miracle on 34th Street.

The In loving memory of 1935 1977 Elvis Presley the man the myth the legend signature shirt is to hold “the Feast of the Seven Fishes” on Christmas Eve. It is a wonderful, and extremely tasty Italian American tradition that I looked forward to every year. MIL would make a big pot of spaghetti with her special lobster marinara sauce, baked cod, calamari, and FIL would prepare a huge platter of shrimp cocktail for the appetizer. I was the appointed birthday cake baker, so I would bring a homemade and decorated cake each Christmas Eve for MIL. I remember the first time I tried the lobster marinara sauce. It sounded weird to me, as I had never had it before. It was acceptable in taste — wasn’t crazy about it, the way the rest of the extended family was. As the years went by, the taste grew on me, but I usually serve seafood stew (Cioppino) to my family instead. So, if you need a special Christmas Eve dinner, consider the Feast of the Seven Fishes, but if your family is not into seafood, an Italian dinner of pasta with meatballs, garlic bread, salad and Italian desserts would be a good substitute.
