With Christmas approaching, it’s time to pull out one of my favorite movies, National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. This is a great comedy to spread the Christmas spirit and make fun of family gatherings. Whether it is hooking up the Christmas lights, or Cousin Eddie dumping the RV sewage into the drain, this movie is hilarious.
Christmas Vacation was made in 1989 and 22 years later it is still making people crack up. Chevy Chase appeals to all guy’s humors because of his jokes and the hilarious scenes he does. He is truly an amazing actor and his humor is tough to beat.
I think everyone can relate to this movie. It shows just how hectic family gatherings really can get. I love seeing my family but everyone knows how tensions build when an entire family is under the same roof. Sometimes it is that funny family member just like Cousin Eddie who makes everything more interesting. Family gatherings may cause some people’s lives some stress that is not needed, but it is having the whole family together that makes Christmas special. This movie teaches this lesson well. They may all not get along, and things might not go as planned, but as long as everyone is together everything is just perfect.
So if you haven’t had a chance to watch this Christmas classic, you and your family should sit down and watch it together. You will enjoy all the humor and be reminded of how important family is.
