You won’t Fuhgeddaboud being good this Christmas.
You’ve heard of Elf on the Shelf, now there’s Guido on a Ledge — a plush doll decked out in a wife-beater tank, shades, slides, sporting facial — and chest — hair, and wearing a good-luck horn.
Creator Christine Fiscardi Lentinello, a Red Hook, Brooklyn native who now lives in Staten Island, said goombahs get a kick out of Guido.
“They’re so excited. They’re like, ‘Oh my gosh this is fantastic. This looks like my uncle. This is my neighbor. This is my father,'” Lentinello, 54, told The Post.
“Some people even rename it. They’ll say, ‘His new name is Vito,’ cause that’s after their uncle. One guy said, ‘I’m getting Luigi and Peppino.'”
Although it’s a play on Elf on a Shelf — the doll that parents put out each morning from the day after Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve so he can report their kids’ behavior to Santa — Lentinello says Guido on a Ledge “just wants to hang out and eat with you.”
Lentinello started selling the $30 plushies in 2023 to family and friends, through word of mouth and her Instagram and TikTok pages, and at holiday fairs.
She’s now sold over 600 to customers as far as Texas.
“Some people think it’s not real, which is hysterical for me,” she said.

I’ve got a lot of Italian blood in the veins and I approve of this completely.
Added breaded pony tail, wire to make a arm point out, mean facial expression and a sign in front of How Dare You.
