Nine year old Ralphie Parker helps demonstrate why kids should never be given glasses with glass lenses \u2014 or BB guns. When his Christmas wishes come true and he finally gets the Red Ryder BB gun he\u2019s begged his parents for, little Ralphie has a little accident despite multiple people telling him constantly, \u201cYou\u2019ll shoot your eye out.\u201d The gun backfires on him in his excitement to finally use it and Ralphie\u2019s black-framed, oversized nerd glasses fly off his head. Not only is a lens propelled right out of the frame, but Raphie manages to break the other one too in all the chaos. Now, like all nine year olds, Ralphie feels he has to make up a story to cover up what really happened. The best he can do is to tell his mom that a giant icicle fell on his glasses. He then adds in a convincing crying jag, so that his mother actually buys the story. A Christmas Story<\/em> indeed!<\/p>\n Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer (1964)<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes, there is Rudolph, Santa, Hermey, The Abominable and Yukon Cornelius who are all memorable characters of this classic children\u2019s Christmas movie. But, an unnamed elf with a very small part in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer <\/em>is still likely to be remembered by anyone familiar with this holiday special. \u201cThe tall elf with the glasses\u201d stands out not only because of his height, but also for the cat eye, black glasses he wears.<\/p>\n A Christmas Carol (1951 and 2009)<\/strong><\/p>\n The way too small, grampy glasses worn by Ebenezer Scrooge suited the character perfectly to accentuate his cheapo personality. Scrooge had to look over the edge of the skimpy eyeglasses with the pencil line thin frames rather than through the tiny, rectangular lenses. The eyeglasses are every bit as much of his character as hi frequent, grumpy expression, \u201cBah! Humbug!\u201d<\/p>\n Arthur\u2019s Perfect Christmas (2000)<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.zennioptical.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Ralphie.png\" "\\"Ralphie\\"")
