Many of you may have noticed the poll to the side of this blog. I want you to vote on your favorite Christmas movie of all time. I voted for "It's a Wonderful Life" but I was second guessing myself because "A Christmas Story" is really an all time favorite of mine as well.
Many of you know Dave's history and how - while working with the Sheriff's Department - he shot his eye out (from a ricochet bullet while shooting at a metal target). He has a prosthetic eye in his right eye. During his years at the Sheriff's Department he had many duties from Patrolmen to Detective, etc. His favorite job, I think was working undercover. He did that for 5 years. While you're undercover, you try to disguise many things about yourself - your appearance, your residence, and even your name. He was known, all those years as "Ralphie" and when he runs into some of his old buddies from the Department, they still call him that. Hence - the love for the movie, "A Christmas Story". And trust me - after hearing some of the the nicknames other guys had - he was thankful for "Ralphie."
P.S. My mom even has a leg lamp in the middle of her front room window and it's been there for years!
