Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.

Growing up, A Christmas Story was a family tradition in my house. It’s my dad's all-time favorite Christmas movie, which meant that every year, we’d dive headfirst into the 24-hour marathon, whether we liked it or not! I can still quote most of it by heart and probably will be able to until I’m much older and (more) gray. Today’s feature takes a closer look at the Ohio house that brought this holiday classic to life. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just looking for some festive nostalgia, you’ll love stepping into the world of Ralphie and his Red Ryder BB gun.

Today's Photo 🤳

🌉 It’s that time of the year! Did you know that the rivalry between these two teams started way back in 1897? The Ohio State Alma Mater "Carmen Ohio" was written on the train ride home to Columbus following the 1902 contest, which saw the Buckeyes lose to the Wolverines, 86–0.
