If you know where this clip is from, chances are this was a holiday tradition for you too!
For one day a year since 1997 , the cable network TBS runs a 24 hour marathon of the 1983 classic “A Christmas Story,”. Starting on Christmas Eve and running through the day on Christmas Day, this all time favorite is the most-watched program on cable for both days.
Growing up my little brother and I took part as two of the many viewers who watched this comedy and Christmas story back to back, as if we had never seen it before.
