I just got the COOLEST ORNAMENT EVER

[Zomby Woof]

My parents sent a xmas package (they'll be here for xmas and the wedding, but the box had too much to take on a plane) which included a Christmas Story Leg Lamp ornament made by Hallmark. It comes with little watch batteries. You open the crate, which has all the paper shavings surrounding the lamp, and by pressing a button on the back, it has the actual "Fra-JEE-lay!" dialogue with Mother and The Old Man, and of course, the lamp lights up. :D :bounce:

i waited too long - as usual.

[AllegroRondo]

14. I got one of those this year too!!!

and the best part - take the leg out of the box, and you can insert a white christmas tree light into the top and hang it as a separate ornament, all lit up!

15. I saw something on TV that the guy who makes the lamps owns the house now

He restored it to the condition it was in during the movie. He made some 700,000 bucks selling the lamps.
