In the past several years, A Christmas Story has filtered into the Halloween Holiday. The Pink Nightmare, (Ralphies Christmas present from his aunt, a complete pink colored bunny suit made for a girl) a full sized leg lamp, and the FRAGILE crate the leg lamp was delivered in.

| Leg Lamp |
One of the most popular Christmas holiday movies is the 1983 hit, A Christmas Story. Over the years it has become a cult classic as replica’s of the props from the movie have become sought after gifts for birthdays and Christmas. I have the leg lamp. Four of them in fact. Here is the full size exact replica Leg Lamp of mine.
The following are some Quirky and entertaining quotes from A Christmas Story. Enjoy and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
* Ralphie To Santa: “I want an official Red Ryder, carbine action, two-hundred shot range model air rifle!”
* Santa in response to Ralphie: “You’ll shoot your eye out.”
* Ralphie’s Old Man after he spies his prized leg lamp broken: “You used up all the glue on purpose!”
* Ralphie’s old man obviously proud in displaying his prize, the leg lamp: “It’s a Major Award!”
* Ralphie’s old man reading the wording on the crate his prized leg lamp arrived in: “Fra-gee-lay. That must be Italian.”
* Ralphie’s old man after seeing Ralphie in a full body fuzzy pink bunny costume: “He looks like a pink nightmare.”
* Ralphie’s old man after the neighbor’s dogs broke in and devoured the Christmas turkey: “Sons of bitches! Bumpuses!”
* Adult Ralphie Narrating: Adults loved to say things like that but kids knew better. We knew darn well it was always better not to get caught.
* Ralphie’s old man trying to muster up a come back after attempting to repair his broken leg lamp: “Not a finger.” (Notafinga)
* The Dog Dare: “Well I double-DOG-dare ya!
(Now it was serious. A double-dog-dare. What else was there but a Triple dare you? And then, the coup de grace of all dares, the sinister triple-dog-dare. Schwartz created a slight breach of etiquette by skipping the triple dare and going right for the throat! “I Triple Dog Dare You!”

* Schwartz: “Hey, smart ass. I asked my old man about sticking your tongue to a flagpole in the winter, and he says that it’ll freeze right to the pole, just like I told ya.”
* As Ralphie’s old man plugged in the Leg lamp: “The snap of a few sparks, a quick whiff of ozone, and the lamp blazed forth in unparalleled glory.”
Mr. Parker: “Oh, look at that! Will you look at that? Isn’t that glorious? It’s… it’s… it’s indescribably beautiful! It reminds me of the Fourth of July!”
Mr. Parker: (Unpacking his major award) “Would you look at that? Would you look at THAT?
Mother: What is it?
Mr. Parker: It’s a leg!
Mother: But what is it?
Mr. Parker: Well, it’s… A leg, you know, like a statue.
Mother: Statue?
Mr. Parker: Yeah, statue.
Ralphie: Yeah, statue.
Mother: Ralphie!
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] My mother was trying to insinuate herself between us and the statue.”
Mother: What is it?
Mr. Parker: It’s a leg!
Mother: But what is it?
Mr. Parker: Well, it’s… A leg, you know, like a statue.
Mother: Statue?
Mr. Parker: Yeah, statue.
Ralphie: Yeah, statue.
Mother: Ralphie!
Ralphie as Adult: [narrating] My mother was trying to insinuate herself between us and the statue.”
* Mr. Parker: “Holy smokes. Do… Do you know what this is? This is… A lamp!”
I recommend you watch A Christmas Story at least once this holiday season. It will be worth it. You can catch it beginning at 8PM Friday, Christmas Eve, on the TBS Network.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

I did watch at least two hours of Ralphie. Best part, the “Oh Fud…….ge……-
December 29, 2010 at 8:50 am eSeriously, it was all the dad’s fault, he was the one who told Ralphie to hold the lug bolts there in that manner and he was the one who twisted around and hit them into the air scattering them in the snow.

| I Present The Leg Lamp - A Major Award |
To kick off the Christmas Holiday season, I thought I would sing the Twelve Days Of Christmas for everyone. However, Patty informed me of the International ban from 35 countries preventing me from singing.
But its Christmas, so damn the torpedoes. Here goes...
On the first day of Christmas,
The Grassy Knoll sent to me,
A leg lamp in the window.
Oh yea, can you spot the LOTGK logo.
Hint, its not on the Italian lamp.

Christmas In July Leg Lamp
 |
| Christmas In July |
The Leg Lamp pictured is 40 inches tall, and to my knowledge, is an exact replica of the one featured in the movie right down to the fishnet stockings, fancy strings hanging from the shade, and I believe I detected just a whiff of ozone when I plugged it into the wall outlet.
It was Electric Sex at it's finest. And yes, it will be displayed in our upstairs window at Christmas.

It even explains how Santa knows if you were bad or good and how reindeer know how to fly. (Fred Astaire as the mailman Narrator and Mickey Rooney as Kris Kringle stars)
As a child, I waited ever so patiently for these programs to air on TV. I would have the calendar circled and made sure I was home to watch these programs. I didn't have the luxury of a VCR to record the program and watch it whenever I wanted. I only had one chance per year.
There is still time to catch these programs on TV or rent them at the local video store. It will be well worth the time spent viewing with your family and children.

I thought I'd share with you one of the Christmas gifts my wife Patty bought me. Its a replica leg lamp from the classic movie, A Christmas Story. The father wins a major award and it gets delivered in a giant crate. It turns out to be the Infamous Leg lamp and he displays it prominently in the front picture window for all his neighbors to see.
I recommend watching the movie.
