A nostalgic, heartwarming kid’s-eye-view of the holidays. The only thing little Ralph Parker hopes to find under the tree is a Daisy Brand Red Ryder BB rifle. He doesn’t simply want it, he’s consumed with an aching desire for it. A deceptively dangerous playground dare, an unforgettable visit with a department store Santa and a bizarre, gaudy radio contest prize are among the vivid childhood memories told with warmth and a sleigh-load of laughs.
