Everyoen knows the movie A Christmas Story right?

The Jean Shepard novel about Ralphie and his goal of the Red Rider B B Gun

Well its that time of year, and few know Jean Shepard continued the story line...

haven of bliss

Continuing adventures of Ralphie and family from "A Christmas Story" and "A
Summer Story"...aka "It Runs in the Family." Jean Shepard is back as narrator
and writer but as in all films, an original cast (they do such a good job
capturing the spirit of the actors in "A Christmas Story" that you won't notice
the cast change). Great nostalgic fun from the Walt Disney Channel. Note: Though
this film was made second, it actually falls third according to the period of
the film.

Plot Outline: Matt Dillon plays a young Jean Shepherd (author and narrator of A

teen years in an Indiana steel town.

Star Crossed Romance of ...

Josephine is the story of Ralph (the same Ralph from A Christmas Story) Parker's
first serious romance with his new Polish neighbor. All of Shepherd's favorites
are here: Randy, Flick, Schwartz, mom, The Old Man. After his initial scare that
their new neighbors might be the returning Bumpus Clan, Ralph finds Josephine an
exotic and mysterious Polish girl, like the ones he, Flick and Schwartz scope in
East Chicago. After watching her from the shadows for some time, Ralph makes his
move at the butcher shop, and finds a willing partner in Josephine.

The actors change but the story played out- many don't know of this-

I have all 5 movies, in varying quality - but if anyone has great quality, definately let me know as I enjoyed the 4 other movies enough to upgrade them definately.
