A Christmas Story feels a bit darker to me watching it as an adult.

There are still genuine laughs, such as the absurd lamp drama and the burned out Santa Claus. But some of the violence against kids bothers me more than it used to.

IIRC, the violence was just between the kids, wasn’t it? It’s been a while since I’ve seen the film, but I do remember the bullying scenes, which was more common in that era, hence why it might’ve been so prominent.
