A beloved, bestselling classic of humorous and nostalgic Americana—the book that inspired the equally classic Yuletide film and the live musical on Fox. The holiday film A Christmas Story, first released in 1983, has become a bona fide Christmas perennial, gaining in stature and fame with each succeeding year. Its affectionate, wacky, and wryly realistic portrayal of an American family’s typical Christmas joys and travails in small-town Depression-era Indiana has entered our imagination and our hearts with a force equal to It’s a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street. This edition of A Christmas Story gathers together in one hilarious volume the gems of autobiographical humor that Jean Shepherd drew upon to create this enduring film. Here is young Ralphie Parker’s shocking discovery that his decoder ring is really a device to promote Ovaltine; his mother and father’s pitched battle over the fate of a lascivious leg lamp; the unleashed and unnerving savagery of Ralphie’s duel in the show with the odious bullies Scut Farkas and Grover Dill; and, most crucially, Ralphie’s unstoppable campaign to get Santa—or anyone else—to give him a Red Ryder carbine action 200-shot range model air rifle. Who cares that the whole adult world is telling him, “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid”? The pieces that comprise A Christmas Story, previously published in the larger collections In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash and Wanda Hickey’s Night of Golden Memories, coalesce in a magical fashion to become an irresistible piece of Americana, quite the equal of the film in its ability to warm the heart and tickle the funny bone.

I want everyone to enjoy this book and to learn about God's grace, love, and understanding for us all. I'm showing how a family who loves and walks in God's spirit, is a family who has their ups and downs just like everyone. By being strong in the spirit of the Lord, that no matter what happens in life we can cope.

This book is my family's true Christmas story. My mother and her sister lived with my grandparents in Plainfield, New Jersey, in the mid-1930s. My mother (Martha) would still get excited whenever she told me this story. It's a story about the real Christmas spirit of giving, which continues through the Brown family generations. It's interesting to note that most people who read this story automatically concluded that my grandparents were affluent with some wealth. However, they were quite the opposite. My grandfather was a butler (not at the White House), and my grandmother was a cook, but they still had hearts to give. I pray that after reading this story that giving becomes the primary element of your Christmas. Be Blessed and Merry Christmas.
