Hand Written Letters, small Corner Markets, Penny Arcades, Phone Booths, Prank Calls, the anticipation and excitement of getting a roll of film developed, Radio DJ’s and organizing one’s life around TV shows. These are just a few wonderful memories we Baby Boomers enjoyed growing up, and made us who we are today. So Zoomers sit back and listen to what you missed out on.

It is often stated that art imitates life. Well, this is the case for us Baby Boomers when it comes to the cult classic A Christmas Story. We Baby Boomers can relate to the BB Gun Obsession, The Dangerous Triple Dog Dare, the ‘Boys Will Be Boys’ Attitude, Kids Left Unsupervised, Overindulging in Soap Punishment, and the culturally insensitive, “Chinese Restaurant” Scene. So, sit back and listen to what it was like growing up as a Baby Boomer.
