TODAY IS: The 18th day of Safe Toys and Gifts Month, sponsored by Prevent Blindness America to make parents aware of toys that are dangerous to children's eyesight (for more info, see preventblindness.org). Too bad kids never want to hear this kind of excuse denying them the toys they want for Christmas -- in the classic 1983 comedy A CHRISTMAS STORY, all poor 9-year-old Ralphie hears whenever he tells anyone that all he wants from Santa is a Red Rider BB Gun is that he'll shoot his eye out. As if that would quell any child's desire for such a treasure. [today's movie at IMDb]
