What a Lamp! / A Christmas Story / A Christmas Story showed the world that / while any old lamp can be turned on, / there is one that can actually turn on a / neighborhood. When "the lamp" makes / its front window debut at the Parker house, / a crowd gathers on Cleveland Street to / enjoy its warm glow, softened pleasantly / by a fishnet stocking. It's a triumphant / moment for Mr. Parker...and an educational / one for nine-year-old Ralphie. And for / more than 25 years, it's been a fan favorite / in a movie full of great moments. / Steve Goslin / Hallmark Keepsake Artist / For decorative use only. / Concu a des fins decoratives seulement. / handcrafted - dated 2009
