WEST DES MOINES, Iowa — Forget hanging lights or setting up other traditional decorations like Santa, or a manger scene, one homeowner decided to take a more cinematic approach to holiday decor.
A 14-foot-tall "A Christmas Story" leg lamp.
"Nothing says Christmas like the soft glow of electric sex," creator Tom Gross told ABC News, quoting a line from the film.

He used scrap items from around the house including a pool cue, Christmas lights, a volleyball net and old curtains to create the authentic look.
"This one is more durable," he said. "People either realize what it is and freak out, or don't know why I have a leg in my yard. If they get it, they throw the flashers on and get out of the car and have a picture taken with it. It is really awesome to see people enjoy it that much."
