I picked up Robin and it was a very cold night, snow was on theBride and Groom Personalized Ornament, married during quarantine, wedding ornament , the streets were empty of cars and people… as we set-out to find the Christmas tree. We spotted a lot, I did an illegal u-turn in my VW bug and drove up to the empty Christmas tree parking lot. The owner of the Christmas tree lot had abandoned the place and the fence gates were wide open. So we parked the car, and spent the next 30 minutes sorting through trees. Robin, was in the moment and we must have looked over at least thirty trees left behind for our pickings. I was coaching her in consideration how big of a Christmas tree we could actually fit into a VW Bug. We finally settled on a smaller Christmas tree that was propped up on a wooden stand and looked a little weak in the branch department, but not quite Charlie Brown style. I picked up the tree and moved it over to the VW bug, we had to drop the back seats, and aligned the tree between the two front seats…hey it smelled great in the car. Off we drove, with the Christmas tree comfortably between the two of us!

Yes we have been witnessing child abuse in A Christmas Story when Ralphie’s mother washes his mouth out with soap forBride and Groom Personalized Ornament, married during quarantine, wedding ornament. When children have been abused, it stirs up powerful emotions in the child which have to go somewhere. Ralphie fantasizes that he has gone blind from “soap poisoning” and his parents have become wildly remorseful and beg for his forgiveness. In this way Ralphie can work out his emotions and let it go. It is obvious that Ralphie learned the bad word from his father, but neither parent is willing to acknowledge it. Ralphie’s mother is a wonderful mother but she slipped up on this one. She represents parents who have witnessed generations of some type of abuse and accept it without thinking it through for themselves. She comes close when she tentatively puts the bar in her mouth, but she fails to follow through. Other abuse in this movie includes the parent who, believing Ralphie learned the bad word from her son, starts hitting her son without even telling him what he did wrong. Also demonstrated is blatant bullying, which is ignored by the adults.
