My fav Christmas movie

I wasn't able to contribute to the NEXT's cover story, but hands down the best Christmas film has to be National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

Who doesn't know a Griswold in their life? The lights engulfing the house, the eggnog served in the Wally World crystal glasses, the crazy pool visions of a make pretend Phoebe Cates.

The movie is the classic of the season. You can have you It's a Wonderful Life and any version of Christmas Carol, but I'll take my Chevy Chase with a smile.

You can rewind to any scene from the film and you have to laugh. The beginning with the family truckster (metallic pea might be the color for those that remember) stuck under an 18-wheeler is hilarious.

How about the scene where the Margo, the neighbor, (also known as Julia Louis-Dreyfus) decides she finally going to do something and punch Griswold in the mouth only to get devoured by both a squirrel and a rottweiler/Snot?!

Hands down the best movie of the season.

Any debate?
