Celebrate Christmas With The Movie Classic "A Christmas Story"

Are you a fan of the classic movie, A Christmas Story? It's the funny tale of Ralphie and his family's Christmas holiday. The only thing that Ralphie wants is a BB gun, but he's not having any luck convincing the adults in his life. Their response? "No way, kid. You'll poke an eye out!" He's determined and keeps trying to find at least one grown-up who will listen to him. In the meantime, he has to deal with the antics of his family and friends.

When I was younger, I didn't put this movie on my favorite list. But it's there now! My husband and son love this movie, and we watch "A Christmas Story" every Christmas. Sometimes, we watch it several times. It's funny, a little twisted, and the characters make you love them.

I started thinking, why not have A Christmas Story inspired Christmas? This lens is for people who'd like to do just that. I found tree ornaments, decorations of the houses from the movie, a tree skirt, and of course, the leg lamp -- as a tree ornament and a lawn ornament.

Start by watching the movie, decorate the house and tree with A Christmas Story ornaments, and round out the evening with A Christmas Story monopoly game. Enjoy! I dare you!

A Christmas Story Leg Lamp Ornament

One memorable moment from the movie is when the father opens a crate, delivered with his new lamp -- in the shape of a sexy leg. The mom thinks it's atrocious, and to her dismay, the dad proudly sets the leg lamp in the front window. For all the neighbors to see.

Ralphie (narrating as an adult):

Over the years I got to be quite a connoisseur of soap.
My personal preference was for Lux, but I found Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor - heady, but with just a touch of mellow smoothness.
Life Buoy, on the other hand...

One of my favorite Christmas Movies is A Christmas Story and I can watch it over and over every year. One of the iconic pieces from the movie is the famous Leg Lamp that Ralphie's father won and placed in their window. It was his Major Award for completing a Crossword Puzzle. So being I just LOVE Cupcakes ...

Ralphie (narrating as an adult):

Oh, life is like that. Sometimes, at the height of our revelries, when our joy is at it's zenith, when all is most right with the world, the most unthinkable disasters decend upon us.
