John Hughes , usually set his movies in Chicago , Illinois . Winnetka , Illinois is the residential area seen in Home Alone 1 and 2 , Ferris Bueller , Uncle Buck and She's having a baby ... Evaston , Illinois is in 16 Candles and the glass house in Ferris Bueller is in Highland Park , Illinois ... all in Chicago metropolitan area 🙂 National Lampoons vacations movies , with Chevy Chase , are about the father of the family , kids are played by different actors in every movie , they are side characters . Boss in this movies was played by Bill Murrays older brother Brian and Randy Quaid , cousin Eddie , seem to have gone mad in last years .

The joke about Clark forgetting the saw actually has more to it. There’s been promo shots (I remember seeing some on the back of the first blu-Ray I had of it) of the Griswold family going to a tree lot to buy a tree. But the lot is very lousy so instead of sucking it up and going to a different lot Clark just walks his family into the woods to find a tree. He was fully intending to just buy a tree, that’s why he didn’t bring the saw.

NEVER tell someone who's pissed off to calm down. Here's what does: it takes all their anger and frustration and gives it a target: the person who told them to calm down.

"I haven't seen Chevy Chase act before as a younger actor." Two words: Caddyshack, and Fletch.

One of my favourite Christmas films!

I usually just watch specific parts of reaction videos, but this move is too good. I had to watch this whole video. Nice job, Mary!

This movie is one of my favorites. You don’t need to watch the other movies to get it, although I suggest more people watch them. But it’s hilarious, getting older I feel like it becomes more relatable every time I see it, my parents love this one and we watch every year.

That's so strange because it's such a Christmas staple here. It's one of those movies you think EVERYONE has seen.

Hope you and your family have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year! 😊

A lot of fun. You so need to see the 1st VACATION (that's the best one) - Mary Christmas :D

This is my family’s favorite Christmas movie!!! We can quote the entire movie by heart, and my dad is the living embodiment of Clark Grizzwald !!!

National Lampoon’s Vacation and Europeon Vacation are also worth a watch.

This is one of the most iconic Christmas movies of all time, surprised you've never seen it! There are also three other National Lampoon's Vacation movies starring the Griswolds. They're all worth watching!

This movie gave birth to the expression "Griswold House", which is a house that is overly decorated in a gaudy fashion to celebrate Christmas. Ellen Lantzen wore a wig to play Ruby Sue. The producers didn't think he pixie haircut was "appropriate"

Cousin Eddy was introduced in the first movie of the series called "National Lampoon's Vacation." Cousin Eddy is played by actor Randy Quaid who is the brother of actor Dennis Quaid. Randy Quaid has won the Golden Globe award, and has been nominated for an Academy Award and for several Emmy awards in his career. Randy Quaid is both a serious actor and a comedic actor. His career is quite accomplished. One of his best movies is a movie called "The Last Detail" with Jack Nicholson, and one of his funniest movies is a movie called " Kingpin" starring Woody Harrelson. Thanks for the reaction Mary, and your intelligent point of view.

Clark's rant about his boss is one of my favorite rants.

I saw this when it came out on VHS and nothing has made me laugh as hard as SPACEBALLS like this one (not even HOME ALONE). Clark absolutely losing his shit and punching Santa in the face and kicking him into the bushes is without question the funniest thing I've ever seen in any movie and it never gets old.

I watch this movie every year. It is hilarious and definitely the best Vacation movie from National Lampoons. Great characters, so many memorable lines and a main character that is genuinely trying to do the right thing for everyone just so they will be happy.

"I didn't go berserk, I simply solved a problem. We needed a coffin... I... I... I mean... a tree" Greatest line of the movie 🤣🤣

Chevy Chase didn't get "cancelled", but he is legendarily difficult to work with and has a tendency to lash out. A lot of Pierce's behavior on Community was written as an exaggeration of his real-life behavior and Chevy became increasingly aware of that fact.

@@Johnny_Socko That's BS. He's great to fans and people that work under him. The Reason he was difficult on Community was becuase Dan Harmon was incompetent and had people working until 4 in the morning on Saturday. For young hungry actors in their 20's that wasn't such a big deal. For a movie star pushing 70 it was a tall order.

The order of the NL movies are: 1)National Lampoon's Vacation 2)National Lampoon's European Vacation (which has Erik Idle from Monty Python in it) 3) National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 4) Vegas Vacation They also have a recent movie called "Vacation" that starts with Clarke's son, Rusty, and his family.

Chevy Chase was also very good friends with the founder of National Lampoon and did a lot of work with him in the 70s. And then John Hughes wrote for it in the 80s. I remember finding old issues of National Lampoon in my grandparents basement, that presumably belonged to my uncles. It was like Mad magazine, but with raunchier humor, laid out like a more typical print magazine than Mad was, and much to the delight of my 14-year-old self, had naked ladies in it 😁.

Clark's boss is played by Bill Murray's brother. He also makes a cameo in quite a few of Bill's movies.

As some others have pointed out, this is the third _Vacation_ movie. If you watch the two that preceded this one, you'll learn that with Clark Griswold, anything worth doing is worth overdoing. That's why he always gets into these zany situations. However, as you so beautifully noted, he is a family man at heart. He wants to please them more than anything. It's worth looking up Chevy (pronounced with a hard *ch,* like in the word *check)* Chase's other films, because they're very funny. Most of what he made in the 1970s and 80s is good. The quality of his movies trailed off in the 90s and beyond. Russ is played by Johnny Galecki, who's most known for his role as Leonard in _The Big Bang Theory._ Audrey is played by Juliette Lewis, who has a bunch of other roles for which she's better known. I recommend _Natural Born Killers_ or _Strange Days_ as a couple of her good dramatic turns. One of the gags for the _Vacation_ series is the kids are played by different actors in each movie, and they trade places as to which child is the elder child. William Hickey (Uncle Lewis) was a great character actor. His stature and nasal voice were his calling cards.

7:04 - Oh man... I remember those incandescent Christmas lights. They were always breaking, burning out, and used so much electricity. The LED bulbs are sooooo much easier.

Stogie is slang for cigar. Eddie is Ellen's cousin. Eggnog is quite tasty! It is very dessert-like like a sweetened creamy vanilla ice cream drink, people usually garnish it with a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. Aunt Bethany is 100% my mother. When she comes into the house and they tell her to go say hello to everybody and she replies with an ecstatic "Hello Everybody!" I die laughing every time. That is just like my mother. She is not all there but we love her nonetheless.

“Surprised, Eddie? If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn’t be more surprised than I am right now.”

Trivia: The house next door to the Griswolds is the house used in the Lethal Weapon films for Murtaughs house (the exterior)

"They're never gonna get rid of that sap." Well, Clark is the man of the house...

"Rusty" was originally played by Michael Anthony Hall (The Breakfast Club), In the First National Lampoon Movie, but he outgrew the part. THIS Rusty is none other than Johnny Galecki, "Leonard" from the Big Bang Theory!

Eggnog with a shot of Cognac, a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a dash nutmeg. A little drink I call Christmas Cheer.

National lampoon’s Animal House is an all time classic

Oh no, the laughs weren't coming where they were supposed to! 🤣🤣 jeez hun!

National Lampoons “Vacation” and “European Vacation” are highly recommended. You will definitely enjoy them.

Mary said how does he even remember what she looks like….. oh Mary we never forget 👍🏻

The grandpas snoring at 7:22 is so accurate.

While filming the scene where Clark takes out his frustrations over the Christmas lights not working on the lawn ornaments, Chevy Chase broke his little finger when he punched the Santa Claus. That's why he started kicking them instead. Chris Columbus was supposed to direct this movie, but after two weeks, he decided he couldn't work with Chevy Chase, so he asked screenwriter John Hughes for another script. The script Hughes gave him was for another screenplay he had written called "Home Alone" Chevy Chase (Clark), Randy Quaid (Cousin Eddie), Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Margo), and Brian Doyle-Murray (Mr. Shirley) have all been cast members of Saturday Night Live. This is the only "Vacation" movie where the Griswalds don't travel anywhere, and it's the only one that doesn't feature the song "Holiday Road" by Lindsay Buckingham.

Since you enjoyed this one, you should definitely check out the first of the series, it's absolutely hilarious and, in my opinion, the best of the bunch (two and four were also pretty good too). Happy Holidays Mary. ✌❤

One of my top two or three Christmas movies for sure.

This was the first Vacation movie on NBC back in the early 90's. All Clark wants is a normal family Christmas but not everything goes according to plan.

This isn't New York. This is Chicago. It's John Hughes, after all.

Now that you have seen Christmas Vacation, you should try European Vacation next. Personally my favorite of the lot. Just your classic slapstick comedy that never seems to get old. I think you will enjoy it!

Mary: "Chevy Chase is so young in this!" Me: *remembers him from "Saturday Night Live," the original "Vacation" and "Caddyshack"*

Chevy was a master of pratfalls, he was on Saturday night live and would do them live in front of and occasionally on the audience.

I remember one year as a kid, my father took us out to cut down a tree for Christmas. Yeah, it was cold.

The actress the plays Aunt Bethany was the voice of Betty Boop

Chevy Chase incessantly rambling like a lech at the sales lady is so hilarious - and classic Chevy. I don't think he was 'acting' so much as he was just being himself.

Watching you watch a broad comedy like this is quite an experience.. you like the aliens on Galaxy Quest, watching TV like it's reality.

The daughter is played by Juliette Lewis, an excellent actress in her own right. Cape Fear(the remake), Natural Born Killers, From Dusk Till Dawn, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Kalifornia all excellent movies of hers.

Your parents are supposed to annoy you. It’s a gift. You pass it on to your kids and so on and so on…hahahaha.

National Lampoon's Vacation is the semi-prequel to this.

This is definitely a classic.

Randy Quaid's character is Clark's cousin Eddie, whom was first introduced, along with his family, in the original National Lampoon's Vacation from 1983. You have to watch the first movie to understand who he is because people who watch Christmas Vacation first tend to get confused by his arrival.
