We bear glad tidings for the Ralphie Parkers of America on this, the official opening day of the Christmas shopping season: Santa may yet come through with that genuine Red Ryder BB-gun. Even if it will come covered in warning labels instead of wrapping paper.

I just bought my kids (13,10, 7 and 4) a Genuine Daisy Red Ryder for Christmas. Can't wait to get into the back yard and try to shoot our eyes out. Daisy also makes a real cool electronic foam target. It has different ricochet sounds depending on where the BB hits it.

[I]t was the classic mother B.B. gun block: "You'll shoot your eye out."
That deadly phrase uttered many times before by hundreds of mothers, was not surmountable by any means known to kiddom.

"You'll shoot your eye out kid" is the line everyone knows. But the best line is when they are changing the car's tire. The lug nuts fly up in the air and, in slow motion, Ralphie says "Oh.....Fu..........dge". "Except I didn't say Fudge, I said the dastardly F-dash-dash-dash word".
Hysterical. An absolute classic.
Glad you enjoy this movie as much as I do,

If I hadn't gotten a Red Rider some time in the late 30s you would be up to your @$$ in "sparrows"...
