A Christmas Story is by far our family's favorite holiday movie. We watch it every year and many of us can quote it verbatim. Our love for this movie can at times border on obsession. A Christmas Story gifts have shown up under many a family Christmas tree. In past years family members have received Red Ryder BB guns and adult size pink bunny footie PJs. One year my brother in law received a full size leg lamp replete with shipping crate. The lamp is proudly displayed in his living room and the shipping crate is his end table. Several summers ago we drove out to Chicago and on the way home we stopped to visit the house used for exterior shots in Cleveland, if you're interested it's at 3159 W 11th St. Cleveland, OH. We felt the need to spread our love for A Christmas Story by sharing it with all our caching friends!                              

Now for the puzzle, the cache is hidden at N 42 AB.CDE W 71 FG.HIJ To find the numbers required to solve the puzzle you may or may not need to watch the movie but we recomend watching it anyway. Nothing like watching this smile inducing movie before hunting down this smiley!
