Kilts in a Christmas Movie

**Captain Karrot** · 27th December 08, 02:06 PM

Okay, so I am sure many of you have seen A Christmas Story at least once...they play if for 24 hours from 8pm Christmas eve on TBS. Anyway, during the opening scene, the boys are looking in the Higbee's department store window at the Christmas toy display. There is a train that pulls up to a station. On top of the station are some toy soldiers...in kilts. It passes quickly, but with Tivo, I could rewind to make sure. Horse-hair sporrans too.

Just thought to share!

I had not noticed them before. Thanks. I'll look next time.

I knew there was a reason I liked that movie do much!

Hmm, missed it. My wife only let me watch it once this year...bummer. Last year I parked in front of the tube and watched it 5 or 6 time.....never gets old.

I have it DVD. I may have to torture my wife with it... again... just so I can spot that!

I did that this year. And that was like a week before TBS started airing it. Watching it on disc is great, but there's just something special about watching the 24 hour marathon.
