I don’t know if I’m impressed with the folks who did this or simply in awe that anyone could have this much free time.

A Christmas Story’s House Restored

FRA-GEE-LE.
“I think that says ‘fragile’, honey.”
“You’ll shoot your eye out!”
I love ‘A Christmas Story’ - and those of you who haven’t seen the movie are like, “Ingrid’s lost her mind.” Well, I have, but that’s not the point!

Home Decorated for the Holidays (with a beat!)

I never thought I’d see a house whose Christmas decorations would make me want to tap my feet along with the music but ….
