My favorite non-animated Christmas special is one that has been around for about 25 years. It isn't a special per se, it is a movie. When Christmas Eve and Christmas Day comes though, it turns into a special on just about station that it appears on. TBS has a 24 hour special of this movie and it is none other than the classic, A Christmas Story.
There is no better feeling after opening Christmas presents or after Christmas dinner, turning on the Best Choice TV and watching A Christmas Story. Everyone knows the classic line from that movie: You'll shoot your eye out! Little Ralphie wants a Red Ryder BB gun and gets his wish. He goes outside and sure enough, the BB ricohets and breaks his glasses.
There are just too many memorable scenes from this movie to count. The boy getting his tounge stuck to the lamp pole; Ralphie fighting the bullies; his first cuss word helping his father change a flat tire; eating out after they burn up the Christmas dinner. This movie is one that touches the heart and certainly is one that depicted life at that time. A Christmas Story is definitely my favorite non animated Christmas special.
