IS That a Leg Lamp?

One of the funniest Christmas Movies I've ever seen was "A Christmas Story" that came out in 1983.  The story centers around a family in the 1940's.  The father (Darren McGavern) was a salesman who had just won a mysterious "prize" from a contest.  His son is scheming to get a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas.   Dad thrill in winning the prize is climaxed by the arrival of a special delivery crate.  He opens it to find a "leg lamp" which he cherishes and his wife despises.  If you get a chance to see the movie, please do. 



The Magnificent "Leg Lamp"

 "A Christmas Story" has become a classic and leg lamps have been showing up in windows around the holidays for two decades.  I have actually been looking for a mannequin in order to build one. 

Guess what?  The Chinese and my wife beat me to it.  Linda arrived today with a very large box and proclaimed; "Merry Christmas."  I opened it and IT IS A BEAUT!!!   My very own Leg Lamp!!  She said I could display it during the month of December.  ??? What??  No!! It needs to stay out all year!   (Very doubtful) 

It is a Very Merry Christmas at Oft's Bed & Breakfast.  Happy Holidays to you!
