Flags in a Christmas Story 1983 - it's time for Christmas in June!

Parade Flags - A Christmas Story 1983

Merry Christmas! I know it's June, but since it's the 'Twenty Fifth' of June, a little Christmas Cheer wouldn't hurt anyone?

Christmas in June make more sense since its fairly warm in the Holy Land. FYI Israel is at the same latitude of Louisiana - just about.


Christmas Flag - A Christmas Story 1983

This film is one of those precious timeless gems that was made for little yet had the deepest of impacts.

  2. Can anyone identify the flags in the parade? Especially the ones between “old glory” and the old Union Flag (British). I see the Grand Union flag also used by the East India Company. Also, there’s some kind of red ensign.
    As a Canadian, I’m used to the friendly and proud colonial past and present use of British standards. But this is an American film. Why does the band use British or Colonial American flags?
    Thanks anyone out there in Christmas land who can help with this.

    1. It’s no coincidence that the scene following is Disney since the crown owns the land that Disney is on.
