It is my hands down favorite Christmas Movie. I can watch it again and again and again. I can recite whole passages, to the utter dismay of anyone watching with me.
Last June on the way to the farm Hanna helped me fulfill a dream: to visit Ralphie's house in Ohio.
Here is
OUR story:
We are arrived and there it is!! I see the leg lamp in the window
Upon entering the home we heard the back story of how the house/museum was created. Then we actually got to touch and handle all the items!
"You'll Shoot Your Eye Out!"
It's time for the Lone Ranger....
They even included the wad of electrical wires - I literally have this behind my village display (I'll share soon).
It could be a bowling alley in there....a MAJOR AWARD... Fraageeelie
"Can't a man get any privacy
for crying out loud..."
"Be sure to drink your Ovaltine....a commercial? son of a b****"
"Mrs. Schwartz, do you know what my son said? he heard it from your son."
The soft glow of Electric Sex (you used all the glue on purpose!)
My little Randy hiding in the cupboard - Daddy's gonna kill Ralphie.
"My mother hasn't eaten a hot meal in 12 years."
"Show Mommy how the piggy eats...."
The scene of the backyard bandits
The Leg Lamp and house Christmas lights burn all year round.
Come On!!! Get going kid!
Here are some of the items in the Movie Museum on the property.
There she is...what a beauty the Red Ryder BB Gun with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time - poetry...........You'll shoot your eye out.
We had such a wee of a time, thanks for letting me indulge today!
I brought home Ralphie's house and nestled it into my Dickens Village :)
I hope you all had a very lovely Thanksgiving. We had a nice quiet day. Here is my table set with wine and butter. Do we need anything else? ha ha
My new project that has been sorely neglected for weeks with all the holiday preparations and decorating that has been happening. I have been posting a lot of that on IG but will do a blog post in the coming weeks.
This is the nine patch swap that started all the FWB swaps!
ho Ho HO everyone! Happy December 2015.
