The leg lamp was an award for a contest that Ralphie's dad had entered in a newspaper.
The way Ralphie's father won the leg lamp is through a contest that he entered.
Ralphie's father entered a newspaper trivia contest and won the leg lamp after his wife supplied him with the answer.
His prize, much to his wife's dismay, is a woman's leg lamp that is complete with fishnet stocking and high heel.
The cost of a full sized leg lamp from A Christmas Story movie is around $230.00 through Amazon.
You can go to Amazon and purchase a full sized leg lamp like the one that appeared on A Christmas Story for $199.99 plus $29.99 shipping.
My favorite part about that leg lamp is when he says that Fragile must be Italian.
I think that says fragile honey. lol
That makes me laugh every time no matter how much I've heard that or seen that quote.
