YOUR Christmas Story.

Check this out! Remember this house from A Christmas Story? You can stay there on Christmas eve! The house was purchased in 2004 (built in 1895), and restored to its movie-like condition, and now functions as a museum. The owners of this amazing movie icon are offering it up for a Christmas experience (check it out on ebay)...

The experience includes:

* Airfare for four (4) people from anywhere in the lower 48 states to Cleveland, OH (up to $1800 total)*.
* 2 Day, 2 Night stay for four (4) in a suite provided by the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel.
* Christmas Eve accommodations for four (4) at the A Christmas Story House.
* Christmas Eve dinner for four (4) provided by Pearl of Orient Chinese restaurant.
* Christmas Day dinner for four (4) provided by Sans Souci, an award-winning, fine-dining restaurant in the Renaissance Hotel.
* $200 stipend for food & beverages during stay included

100% of the proceeds will benefit the Wounded Warrior Project which is dedicated to assisting our nations servicemen and women severely injured during the wars on terrorism in Iraq, Afghanistan and other hot spots around the world.

#1. How great is it that the Christmas Eve dinner is at Pearl of Orient Chinese restaurant? (Fa-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra... Deck the harrs wit bours of horr-y...)

#2. If you lose out on your "MAJOR AWARD!", you can always just purchase the leg lamp for yourself here- http://www.redriderleglamps.com/

Here's to a joyous beginning of the Christmas season.

the joys of electric menorahs

i learned the joys of electric menorahs in undergrad.... and thought i would start the holidays off right by posting some ugly ones i found on ebay! 

ebay day.

We're getting ready to leave for thanksgiving break. So we wanted to leave you with something good. Mayhap some ebay finds will tide you over..? enjoy!!


I have a thing for unicorns. And unicorns that have special LED lighting? Seriously. There are only 30 shopping days left until Christmas. Get on it.

Apparently, all dogs do go to heaven.


gotta get yourself ready for the Christmas sweater season. I think the bells and bows really add something special to this, don't you?


Apparently, this bear is a big deal. ish. It's an Annette Funicello bear or something. All I can think of when I hear her name is "Annette funnyjello" from Michelle on Full House. Brings the good ol days back.
