A Few Of The Many Reasons Christmas Vaction Is The Awesomest Holiday Movie Ever

There’s only one holiday movie we make a point to watch every single year and that’s Christmas Vacation. We consider it the pinnacle of all things Chevy Chase. If you briefly scan Chevy’s film resume you’ll come to the conclusion he probably feels the same way. So with Christmas right around the corner we’d like to point out a few of the many reasons Christmas Vacation is the awesomest holiday movie ever, in case you weren’t already aware.
Reason #1: The Clark and Eddie Dynamic
Ellen: “What are you looking at?”
Clark: “Oh, the silent majesty of a winter’s morn… the clean, cool chill of the holiday air… an asshole in his bathrobe, emptying a chemical toilet into my sewer…”
And don’t forget…
Clark: “Can I refill your eggnog for you? Get you something to eat? Drive you out to the middle of nowhere and leave you for dead?”
Eddie: “Naw, I’m doing just fine, Clark.”
Clark: “Hey, Kids, I heard on the news that an airline pilot spotted Santa’s sleigh on it’s way in from New York City.”
Eddie: [pause] “You serious, Clark?”
Reason #2: The Awesomeness That Is Aunt Bethany
Everything about this old bag is funny. She should have won a Golden Globe for her performance.
Bethany: “Is your house on fire, Clark?”
Clark: “No, Aunt Bethany, those are the Christmas lights.”
Ellen: “Oh Aunt Bethany, you shouldn’t have done that.”
Aunt Bethany: “Oh dear, did I break wind?”
Uncle Lewis: “Jesus, did the room clear out, Bethany? Hell no, she means presents. You shouldn’t have brought presents.”
Reason #3: The Plate in Eddie’s Head
Eddie: “Every time Catherine would turn on the microwave, I’d piss my pants and forget who I was for about half an hour.”
Reason #4: The Bimbo at the Department Store Counter
We can safely say she was the culprit behind several “secret” loads of laundry we had to do in the early 90’s.
Clark: “‘Tis the season to be merry.”
Mary: “That’s my name.”
Clark: “No shit.”
Reason #5: Cousin Eddie’s Black Dickey Under a White Sweater
We’ve tried to replicate this look for multiple holiday parties. You wouldn’t believe how hard it is to score a turtleneck dickey.
Reason #6: The Christmas Dinner Scene
“Save the neck for me, Clark.”
And of course…
Reason #7: The Breakdown Speech
“Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where’s the Tylenol?”
And these are only a few of the reasons Christmas Vacation dominates. Suck on that It’s a Wonderful Life!

Finally finally finally someone gets it right. Best Xmas movie, best National Lampoon movie, and a kickass movie in its own right.

My favorite Christmas movie… and one of my top ten favorite movies of all time! I can recite it from start to finish!
BUT WHY WHY WHY WHY is there little to NO merchandise available for this film? You can buy stuff - from monopoly to wrapping paper - for other holiday movies (like Christmas Story) but not Christmas Vacations. One my great frustrations in life…
