Set in a 1940s-era Midwestern town and told from the viewpoints of a seven-year-old boy, who only wants one thing for Christmas - a Red Ryder BB gun - the episodic tale chronicles not only his schemes to convince his mother and father to buy him one, but also offers a warmly nostalgic look into 1940s middle-class American life.

I was wondering why this film has such high ratings, but that child's perspective on Christmas, especially a Christmas centered around one specific toy that isn't entirely safe, but mainly focusing on a family that's eccentric but not excessively so, makes it worthwhile. It's entertaining, it doesn't stop, and in the end, it has a funny and Christmas-themed conclusion.
