Oh, I love this lamp. I've yet to see the movie again this year (been so busy with school I hardly watch tv, anymore!)...every time I see this leg, I just remember Ralphie feeling it up. His mom is EXACTLY like my mom!
My dad watches this movie over and over when TBS or TNT (or someone...) plays it for 24 hours in a row. I think it really speaks to his childhood.
Personally, I love how the mother encourages her youngest child to act like a pig when he's eating dinner. Aaah, Christmas!
