Pink Nightmare - Christmas Story

With shipping a disaster and currently even worse in my province after some substantial flooding the kids and I decided to make our own Ralphie Standee for our A Christmas Story porch. I will wrap our porch posts in the fra gee lay box :joy: mom will sit and admire ralphie in his suit and we will fill under the tree with props like the movie. I cut him out on the glowforge and my kiddos painted him last night was so fast and simple :tada:


There is of course also a leg lamp in our front window :rofl:

I made a support for the back and cut it from wood so it’s surprisingly stable but light weight enough to not require heavy mounting.

If you’re ever in Cleveland you can go to the mall where the Santa scene was filmed. It’s trippy, it’s now a converted hotel and food court.

That was the first thing my kids made when we got our first 3D printer.

Mom was not amused and although it went into the attic with the rest of the decorations. For some reason it’s never emerged again :wink:

Surprisingly, that is one movie we’ve never watched. Not sure why. I think the kid irritated me or something. May have to watch it this year.
