Yeah, they already made a "sequel" and I believe it was called A Summer Story? Or something like that?
Instead of it revolving around the red rider bb gun, it revolved around who had the best Spinning Top and "battling" it out.
Whenever my wife asks me why I never wear pants around the house I simply remind her:
"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.” - Winston Churchill
The truth wears NO pants!
The sequel was "My Summer Story"
I suspect the reason for this one to go straight to dvd, it sucks.

Is it worse that I've never seen the original Star Wars movies, or this movie?
"There are no finger prints under water."
"A Christmas Story" was a truly great film . . . therefore the sequel will definitely suck. If they have a "team" of writers working on it, it will suck incredibly bad. If they use CGI it will be even worse.
The studios are lazy. Everyone who saw it when they were young will not be happy with the new one. Everyone under 15 won't care. So who's gonna watch this? It better be 3D
Although not exactly sequels, there were two other movies made about the same family:
"It runs in the family" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110168/
and
"Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098023/
If you liked Christmas story, they are worth looking up.
