Ho-Ho-Ho. Fooled you. You probably thought with the holidays so close I was going to write one of those sappy Walton family Thanksgiving or Christmas stories about how we went out and stalked the turkey and sat around the dining room table singing Thanksgiving sons.
Well, first, we lived in the city and we stalked our turkey in the frozen meat department at the A&P and more importantly I believe there are memories that should be kept just for yourself, that are special and lose some of their special nature if you go around telling them at the drop of a hat. Jean Shepherd is to be commending for tell of a life in “Christmas Story” that obviously resounds with a lot of people but since so many people share his story, he has exposed it to light and I suspect lost a little edge from his memory.
