Did You Notice This about A Christmas Story Christmas? A hidden reference to the famous line “You’ll shoot your eye out!” from the original film can be seen when Ralph tries to throw a snowball at his son Mark, but accidentally hits his daughter Julie in the eye at close range instead. At the hospital they discover Julie’s eye injury isn’t serious and she’s given an eye patch to wear while it heals for a few days, which is all very similar to the minor injury Ralphie sustained in the original film when he nearly shot his eye out with his Red Ryder BB gun.
