Every year at Christmas, we gather in the ole living room to watch what’s become our family’s most fun movie, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Initially, I could not see getting emotionally attached to such a silly movie, but I have! I look forward to seeing this movie year after year. Periodically throughout the year, a scene from this movie will flash through my mind followed by explosive laughter.
The story is set around the notion of an old fashion Christmas in Clark and Ellen Griswold home with their two children: Audrey and Rusty. They invite their parents to share in the celebration. However, Clark’s dreams are quickly dashed away with whacky mishaps abounding throughout the movie. You’ll find yourself laughing to tears. Here are some clips from the movie to jog your memory or to entice you to watch it for the first time. Enjoy!
