Who narrates 'the christmas story?' Is it adam west?

No, Jean Shepherd is the author and narrator of A Christmas Story.

He also played a cameo role in the movie as the angry gentleman who tells Ralphie “The line ends here! It begins there!”

Wrapping presents while watching Ralphie pine for a Red Riding BB gun has become a holiday tradition as beloved and durable as candy canes and eggnog. Yet the author and narrator of A Christmas Story, Jean Shepherd, had a deeper legacy of enchanting, subtly barbed storytelling as a longtime voice on nightly radio.
