My FI and I put up the Christmas tree this morning. Part of the ritual has become watching the movie A Christmas Story (with Peter Billingsley). I absolutely LOVE that movie! Anyhoo ... when the scene in which the leg lamp arrives came on, I thought of you ladies -- specifically RetreadBride -- and tales of the chili pepper lamp!
I took that opportunity to mention to FI that this is why we should register, to avoid receiving a leg lamp (or something else just as scary!). He actually agreed. So there ya go, I think we're actually going to register for a few gifts. All b/c of a cannily timed viewing of A Christmas Story. Ha!
Happy Holidays, everyone!! Stay safe and warm. Cheers!
