The movie opens with a crowd of kids staring slack-jawed at the pagan temple of a store-window display. (No, George--that's where my money is!) In the end, the characters discover an authentic holiday outside the usual traditions--as when Ralphie and family, their turkey devoured by the neighbor's dogs, discover "Chinese turkey" (Peking duck) at a chop-suey restaurant.

Like most Harvard conversations, the game focused extensively on masturbation and menstruation. A note to prospective traditional Jewish married couples: physical distance is required during that monthly period of impurity. Ignoring this rule can lead to stained sheets, as well as reputations.
