A Christmas Story??!!

By now I am sure that most of you have heard of, if not watched...several times, the movie, A Christmas Story. Well, for those of you who have not been blessed by this Christmas wonder, let me enlighten you. It is hilarious movie about the goings on of a family in the 1940s. Now my siblings and I have remarked on many occasions how similar the dad and mom are to our own, IN SOME WAYS...must be clarified to avoid any unfortunate happenings as Paige is the only one at present able to escape their wrath!
Anywho...as I was saying, some of the things in the movie have actually happened at the Bennett household from time to time. SO...I got this wonderful idea to actually 'play out' a movie event. In the movie, the dad receives a "Major Award" for something he had applied for and when it arrived, caused quite uproar to say the least!! It was a full plastic leg lamp which lit up very brightly and was placed, by the dad, in the picture window in front of the house! The mother was not amused...as can be imagined and the lamp met a tragic end soon after...totally by accident!!??(or did it)

Well I happened to find that same lamp...online of course... and purchased it for dad for Christmas. Oh she is a beauty with her hardcore fishnet stocking and black three inch pump. The reaction from both parents was exactly what I expected...for reference see movie or Christmas 2007 montage below! Though she has not ended up in the picture window yet, she is perched on the den TV at present! Will I hear the sound of taps being played...one will have to wait and see!!
