Movie Intro:
In December 1973, 33 years after the events of A Christmas Story, Ralph “Ralphie” Parker lives in Chicago with his wife, Sandy, and two children, Mark and Julie. Ralph has been taking the year off from his job to write his first novel, but its excessive length leads multiple publishers to reject it. Mrs. Parker calls to tell Ralph that his father, “the Old Man”, has died, and the grief-stricken family makes its way to Hohman, Indiana to be with her. She gives Ralph two tasks: write his father’s obituary, and take up his mantle of making Christmas special for the family.
Ralph’s children befriend one of the Bumpus kids next door, and have their snowman smashed by two bullies on a snowmobile. Ralph reunites with Flick, who now owns his father’s old tavern, and Schwartz, who still lives with his mother and has run up a large tab at Flick’s. While leaving the house to go ice skating, Sandy slips and sprains her ankle.
As Christmas Eve approaches, the family goes to Higbee’s, where Ralph miraculously buys everything Mark and Julie asked for while the children speak to the store’s Santa. On the way back, Ralph’s car overheats, and Ralph accidentally hits Julie in the eye during an impromptu snowball fight. After Julie receives a temporary eyepatch at the hospital, the family discovers their car was robbed in the hospital parking lot; the presents are gone, and there is little money left to replace them.
