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.

The following quote in the title is a repetitive statement in the movie that can also stand as a summary of it . The movie takes place in the 1940s. The main character is a nine year old boy named Ralphie .  Throughout the movie Ralphie is on a mission to convince his parents, his teacher, and Santa that a Red Ryder B.B. gun really is the perfect gift for the 1940s. Various times in the movie when asked what he would like for Christmas, the joys of wanting a B.B gun back fire at him with the phrase "You'll shoot your eye out kid!".

If you have seen the movie, you know what happens. To those who don't know, join in the holiday fun and find out what happens to Ralphie! Will he get the B.B gun? Does he shoot his eye out?
