Turn on your leg lamps and put your feet up, because "A Christmas Story" is back on TV screens and streaming services just in time for Christmas.

The movie is based on anecdotes from Jean Shepherd's 1966 book "In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash," with some other elements included from his 1971 book "Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories and Other Disasters."
