Answer: A Christmas Story

'A Christmas Story' (1983), stars Peter Billingsley as Ralphie. All he wants for Christmas is a Red Ryder carbon-action 200-shot range model air rifle.

He couldn't wait to receive his Secret Society decoder pin in the mail so he could find out the secret message that was being sent from Little Orphan Annie herself. The word 'Fragile' comes from the scene where Ralphie's father receives a crate with the word 'Fragile' on it.
