'Ralphies' gathering on Thanksgiving weekend

If you identify with Ralphie Parker, the 9-year-old Midwestern boy who longed for a BB gun, you may wish to spend Thanksgiving weekend in Cleveland with fans of the movie "A Christmas Story."

That's when your fellow "Ralphies" will meet actors who played in the 1983 cult classic, tour the restored Cleveland home used in the movie and enjoy a Christmas dinner, just like the Parker family, at the C & Y Chinese restaurant.

Will they be singing Christmas carols?

So sad that the director and his son were killed this year by an illegal immigrant driving under the influence.

I went to the Christmas Story house last year. Lots of visitors were from various neighboring states.

I saw “leg lamps” for sale in the local Rite Aid yesterday. Probably knock-offs from China. Don’t know how much the full-size ones were, but the tiny “night light” size was $7.95.

Do the Bumpus hound dogs still live next door?
