One of them has been working hard since they were two years old.

Cleveland is quickly becoming a hot vacation destination. First, they've got the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which is pretty sweet if you want to see some old guitars or see the handwritten lyrics to Purple Haze. But that's nothing compared to the newest attraction set to open its doors on November 25th.

The house where the classic film "A Christmas Story" was shot is officially being opened up to the public as a tourist attraction. For the low price of $5 ($3 for children) you can visit the famous house and its accompanying museum located conveniently across the street. The house has been completely remodeled to recreate the same look that it had in the original flick. As far as souveniers are concerned, the gift shop offers the greatest item ever concieved -- a replica of the leg lamp that Ralph's father won and proudly displayed in the front window of the house (much to the dismay of Ralphie's mother).
