My FABULOUS minimalist Christmas decorating scheme
Well, I'm DONE decorating for Christmas!!
One three foot leg lamp placed in front picture window!
Everyone who sees it gets a smile on their face, and we've had folks slow down and point it out to others in their cars.
I put it up on Thanksgiving night, and take it down on Christmas night - and it just plain makes me happy!!

I'm confused. Does this lamp have three feet, three legs, or is it 3 feet high?

The Movie - A Christmas Story - the one with the little boy who gets his mouth washed out with soap and wants a Red Ridder BB gun. Originally Posted by mauimagic

I think TBS or one of the other cable channels runs it continuously 24/7 on Christmas Day.
