If you find yourself driving around Neptune Beach in Jacksonville, you may find a 20 foot replica of Leg Lamp from A Christmas Story!
That’s because JP Michalik built one and put it in his front yard! He said “You’re looking at an exact replica of the Leg Lamp from A Christmas Story. It is 420% bigger than the one that appears in the movie, so it’s 20 feet tall.” He decided to build it because he wanted to set himself apart from his neighbors holiday decorations this year.
He said, “I thought it’d be fun to have a neighborhood competition, who could have the best Christmas decorations. In the middle of the night I had an epiphany!”
To create the replica — which also features the movie’s central character Ralphie hugging the lamp while wearing his iconic pink bunny suit — Michalik said that he used a half-mile of 14-inch fringe and golf netting to nail the look.
We’d say he won!
