The holiday season generates thoughts and memories relating to families and the home, so it’s no wonder many holiday-centric movies so prominently feature a home.

Some of these beloved homes are figments of set designers’ imaginations. The mundane two-story suburban home of “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” was a set, and even the lovely stone farmhouse from the 1945 romantic comedy “Christmas in Connecticut” was a set.

Fixed what? As the article says, the house featured in A Christmas Story really *is* a house (and now, museum).

Cool article, though. I had no idea that the gymnasium with the pool below the floor (seen in It's a Wonderful Life) was still around.

$150K to buy the A Christmas Story house?
It’s in a not particularly good neighborhood in Cleveland.
I bet any other house on the block goes for 30 grand or less.
