Did the concept of leg lamps exist before A Christmas Story?

Yes, they did. Leg lamps were a real product before 'A Christmas Story' came out. They were a kitschy novelty item often used as a form of offbeat home decor, and 'A Christmas Story' just brought more attention to them with its humorous and memorable portrayal in the movie.

The leg lamp in 'A Christmas Story' is a very unique and iconic symbol. It represents the kooky and somewhat tacky side of Christmas. It's the kind of oddball decoration that adds a touch of humor and quirkiness to the story.

They are described as quite large and in the shape of a woman's leg in a fishnet stocking. It's a very eye - catching and rather unconventional design.

One common type of lamp in a Christmas story could be the Christmas tree lights. They add a warm and festive glow to the tree, symbolizing the joy of the season.

In a Christmas story, a lamp could be a magical object. Maybe it's an old lamp that when lit, reveals memories of past Christmases. The family gathers around it and as the light flickers, they see visions of their ancestors' Christmas celebrations. This adds a touch of mystery and nostalgia to the story. It could also be that the lamp is the only source of heat in a cold Christmas eve for a poor family, and they huddle around it, sharing stories and finding warmth not just from the physical light but also from their love for each other.

Another special lamp could be the lantern. Lanterns are often used in Christmas parades or when people go caroling at night. They are portable and can spread a warm light as the characters move around in the story, creating a sense of community and celebration.

No, Buzz Lightyear was created specifically for the Toy Story franchise.

The leg lamp in 'A Christmas Story' became linked to Christmas because it was brought into the family home as a new and exciting item during the Christmas season. The father was proud of it and displayed it prominently, so it just became part of their Christmas. It added a unique and somewhat comical touch to their holiday setup.

Yes, Mr Potato Head actually existed before Toy Story. It was a popular toy for many years before being featured in the movie.

The leg in 'A Christmas Story' is definitely not a real leg. It's a novelty leg - shaped lamp. This lamp is quite the conversation starter in the story. It's part of what makes the movie so memorable, as it's such an unusual and funny item that the family has to deal with during the Christmas season.
