A Christmas Story theme

A very happy holiday to you!  Whether you celebrate Festivus, Kwanza, Saturnalia, Sol Invictus, Hanukah, Eid, Christmas, or are just enjoying a three-day weekend, may it be a joyous one.

We decided to use the movie “A Christmas Story” as our theme this year, but we were a little late getting started.  Even so, we’ve been getting great feedback on it.  I guess nobody has done this theme before.  Next year we plan on adding the kid in the red snow suit who couldn’t put his arms down, the teacher/wicked witch saying “You’ll shoot your eye out!”, and a Santa on the roof with a big boot at the beginning of a slide going down into the yard.  If we can do it right, it will be a hoot. 

More pictures after the jump.

This actually happened to me when I was a kid!

Isn't it beautiful?!

You'll shoot your eye out!!
