After trying to wrangle kids, pets, parents, grandparents, and even cousins (I really wish I had a Cousin Eddie) during a holiday celebration, I feel Clark’s pain and I completely understand why he went absolutely bonkers.
Before I get too far into my long-winded and totally subjective list of reasons why National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is not only the best movie in the franchise but also the best Christmas film of all time, let me tell you that I truly didn’t appreciate the final 30 minutes of this insanely hilarious comedy until I had a family of my own.
