	| Mine: | 
	
	Nostolgic, sweet. The best Christmas movie ever made? Very funny. The book (In God We Trust, all Others Pay Cash) is even better.

	| Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: | 
	
	Humorist Jean Shepherd's delightful memoir of growing up in the 1940s and wanting nothing so much as a Red Ryder BB
gun for Christmas. Shepherd narrates in the first person, and Billingsley portrays him (delightfully) as a boy. Truly funny for
kids and grownups alike; wonderful period flavor. Based on a portion of In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash. Shepherd appears unbilled as a department store customer. Followed by IT RUNS IN MY FAMILY.
