      he probably thought he would agree with his mom when she said "you'll shoot your eye out". lots of kids assume their parents usually agree on stuff like that for Christmas presents. otherwise he might have asked him, but still it was nice to know his dad was listening to him when he kept asking so many people and they all said no, even if it was for good reason. so yeah heart warming to have a dad like that who listens to you ❤

      My dad did this same exact thing for me as a kid when it was Christmas. All the presents would be done and my dad would hint at something in the closet. I hope to do the same with my kids and keep the magic of Christmas alive.

      A Christmas Story really has so many layers to it, and that's what a lot of holiday movies don't have. You don't ever really see any kind of warm "heart-to-heart" scenes between Ralphie and the Old Man; a lesser movie would've been schmaltzy by having it in there. The whole reason why A Christmas Story works so well is because while the characters are comical, they feel very real regardless because they're not open with each other.
      Most fathers and sons don't have open-hearted discussions that you see in a lot of fakey movies. In the case of A Christmas Story, it doesn't even really seem like Ralphie and his dad are even that close or have anything in common. But this scene shows--without telling--that the Old Man does pay attention to his kids, and he does care about them a great deal, even if he never really shows it because maybe he doesn't know quite how otherwise. You see the Old Man fail quite a lot throughout the movie--but at least he tries when it matters. Even Mrs. Parker isn't mad here because she understands that.
      Just like that scene where Ralphie beats up Scut Farkus. There are barely any words of dialogue between Ralphie and his mom, but you see the understanding that Mrs. Parker has about her son. Ralphie's just a kid, but she realizes that we all have it tough in our own way, and sometimes we can't always hold it together. Being a kid is really tough sometimes. She doesn't yell or even get mad, because Ralphie didn't even do anything wrong; he just had a breakdown.

      Right there with you man. My parents loved to do this, though not every year so I wouldn't get wise. Take the one present I had begged for all year, and, in their defense, was going to be the hardest to find that year, and hide it away until the end, complete with "hey, what's that over in the corner/behind the curtain/under the coffee table?"
      One year I remember the most fondly was the year I was asking for Super Mario Bros. 2. The game had just come out, and the news was already reporting how hard it was to find. I woke up Christmas morning fully prepared not to unwrap it. I was also like Ralphie in that if I didn't get it would turn this into "the worst Christmas ever" and mope around like a little bitch. My parents taught me better than that.
      I miss those days so much.😭

      One of the absolute best parts of being a dad is living vicariously through your kids, at the same time you have to remember that they are little humans themselves not clones of yourself and your interests aren’t always going to align exactly with your own. Regardless, the fact that you have an interest in them and are excited about them means you are most likely going to be an awesome father.

    This scene always hits me in a big way. The Old Man had this planned out all on his own, even the mother had no idea. He is shown to be busy with work, only around at meals, and not very involved in the trials and tribulations the boys. But when it came to Christmas he really was paying attention, most especially to Ralphie when he needed it. The swell of the music as he rips off the wrapping paper always takes me back to being a kid on Christmas. 🥲

    One unspoken detail about this scene I've always appreciated is the old man telling his wife "Santa Claus probably brought it". Really telegraphs how self aware the film is as a movie for both child and adult audiences. You watch it as an adult, and you just kind of laugh that response off as a sarcastic excuse for something we know he did. But a kid could interpret it as a legitimate excuse.

In fact, It took several years of growing up & learning to appreciate just having the family together & for once during the year (it seemed) having us all get along for Christmas (when, I first began to not really care if I didn't get the new Playstation or X-box game, trendiest new clothes or what have you, as I did earlier in life.)

      he probably thought it was from santa and to be fair the dad never really took credit savor telling his mom he had one when he was eight, so its a little understandable. besides he got karma for not saying thank you when his glasses broke from stepping on them, after almost shooting his eye out like everyone said he would and did.

  • @coasternut2034

    I had the exact same experience as Ralphie. When I was about his age, I aimed my BB gun at an old metal sign. My dad had warned me about shooting at anything metal, but I didn't believe him. The BB ricocheted back in a direct line and hit me under my right eye, just like it's portrayed here. I remember that moment vividly, because I realized I had come very close to "shooting my eye out."

  • @42lookc

    Ralphie's Dad is so excited to give it to him and relive his boyhood through the experience. A Mom can never know what it is to be a little boy and get your most prized possession for Christmas. It is an exhilaration that can not be described. Dad knew, and did he ever. He made that the most memorable Christmas present ever for his firstborn son. Even though his whole heart was to please his little boy and make his Christmas wonderful, he branded himself a HERO DAD in his son's eyes while he was doing it. Ralphie will never forget how his Dad heard him, read him, and came through for him in spades. This is how Father/Son relationships are solidified and immortalized. 100 percent Dad move moment. Ralphie will NEVER forget and will now go on to repeat the gesture for his own son some day.

    And older mentor of mine once told me this story. He grew up in Ralphie's era: He said just like other boys at 10 years old, he desperately wanted a BB gun. The "Buck Jones" model is what he wanted. That one was the step above the Red Ryder. The reason this movie is so accurate is because parents really did fear kids shooting their eyes out. Anyway, he asked for one from Christmas and didn't get it and was disappointed. 11th birthday came around - didn't get it. Christmas came around again - and didn't get it. 12th birthday came around and he still didn't get it. That next Christmas, he said he had already given up hope. Came downstairs with his younger siblings to Christmas morning only to discover the BB gun was by the tree. He was so overwhlemed with gratitude, he ran back up stairs, full on jumped on his parent's bed - waking them up in the process - and hugged and thanked them. His dad, barely awake said, "BB gun??? I think you need to look at that again." In his excitement, he failed to realize what he had in his hands. It wasn't a BB gun. It was a .22 bolt action rifle!!!!!! Yeah.....the real thing.
