“A Christmas Story” premiered in 1983, screenwriter Jean Shepherd pulled antidotes from his own life to create the Christmas comedy — including the infamous leg lamp.And Quentin Schultze, the author of “You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out! Life Lessons from the Movie “A Christmas Story,” taught storytelling with Shepherd, leading the pair to become fast friends. From their time together, Schultze gained a deeper insight into the holiday classic — and it turns out it was a rocky start for the late screenwriter, who died at 78 in 1999.“Jean Shepherd wrote scripts that he wanted done exactly the way he wrote them,” Schultze exclusively told The Post.

seasonal classic “A Christmas Story” has its marathon on TNT and TBS. For 24 hours straight on Christmas Day, the networks will air and re-air and re-air “A Christmas Story.” The tradition has been around since 1997, a source from the network told The Post. The source said that the annual tradition “showcases the power of nostalgia.” The 1983 movie, directed by Bob Clark and based on Jean Shepherd’s 1966 book “In God We Trust: All Others Pay Cash,” follows Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley, now 52, who also appeared as one of the elves in another seasonal classic, “Elf”), a boy who wants a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-shot Range Model air rifle for Christmas — but everyone from his mom to a department store Santa Claus warns him, “You’ll shoot your eye out!” Sure enough, he does have an eye-related mishap after getting the rifle for Christmas, but as an adult, he reflects that it was the best present he ever got.Other vignettes in the movie follow his dad, or “the Old Man,” played by Darren McGavin, who died in 2006 at age 83.
