Characters:

Ralphie - (9-12) Boy obsessed with planting the seeds to assure he'll get the ultimate Christmas present: a genuine Red Ryder BB gun. He is unsure of his feelings for Esther Jane, has a wild imagination, and is persistent, curious, and dramatic.



Flick - (9-12) One of Ralphie's best friends. A follower who is easy to pick on. He can't resist the triple dog dare and gets his tongue stuck to a lamppost. Has a sore arm. Also plays a Desperado.



Schwartz - (9-12) Another one of Ralphie's buddies. He likes trouble. He's a little more on the ball than Flick and gets him to do things he probably shouldn't. Also plays a Desperado.



Esther Jane - (9-12) Girl who has a crush on Ralphie. She is sweet, girly and likeable. Best friends with Helen.



Helen - (9-12) Smartest girl in the class. Likes to talk about politics and gossip. Best friends with Esther Jane.



Randy - (7-10) Ralphie's mischievous little brother who has a true fascination with Santa. Has to use the restroom at inopportune times. Ability to focus and to be still a plus.
