A Christmas Story is my husband's all time favorite Christmas movie....maybe his favorite movie ever. The outside scenes were all shot in a neighborhood in Cleveland, OH. And, a fan of the movie bought the house, restored it to look like the rooms in the movie and created a museum and gift shop to go along with it. Since we were nearby visiting Niagara Falls, we decided to stop by and see the place. We had a lot of fun talking about the movie with the guide and learning all kinds of trivia about the making of the film.
There is a leg lamp in the window and a Red Ryder BB gun under the Christmas tree, a "turkey" in the oven and the "Old Man's" car in the garage.
At the gift shop you can buy leg lamps of all sizes, a variety of movie memorabilia and even a bunny suit like Ralphie got from his aunt.
It's a great stop on your way through the Cleveland area!

I never saw the movie until maybe six years ago. I can't believe I had missed it for so long. Roger Ebert reviewed it while it was still new, and he wondered (at the time) if it would become a classic or not.
ReplyDeleteThis absolutely cracks me up, because, I LOVE this movie!
