Family's "A Christmas Story" house may become Lego set

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — A western New York family is campaigning for their carefully crafted recreation of the house from "A Christmas Story" to become an official Lego set.

WSTM-TV reports Jason Middaugh's small family project to recreate the house from the classic holiday film turned into a six month-long undertaking. Middaugh says he and his family scoured the internet to find the 2,000 pieces needed to construct the home.

The Middaugh family included the character Ralphie in a bunny suit, a shipping container with a "fragile" sign and the notorious leg lamp.

Lego reviews set proposals when 10,000 people support a project on their special site. The Middaugh family's "A Christmas Story" set has received nearly 9,000 endorsements.
