'A Christmas Carol' and 'It's a Wonderful Life,' are movies we love with magic in them.

One of the secrets of 'A Christmas Story' is that it's a relatable story. They feel like our family.

The theme of 'A Christmas Story' is that you can count on Christmas - that everybody has a Christmas story. Everybody has that time in the holiday season that they remember.

What makes 'A Christmas Story' universal, whether you celebrate Christmas or not, is that you recognize that family... It's ultimately about a family being glued together for the holiday season.

When a writer gets a second chance to look back on something, it's a great opportunity to say, 'Hey, this is really good, but we can do it even better.'
