It’s December, and that means it’s time to watch “Christmas Vacation.”

The classic Christmas film with Chevy Chase has withstood the test of time better than any other holidays film I can think of. (REVIEW: ‘Westworld’ Season 3 Ends With The Possible Deaths Of Multiple Characters)

Clark Griswold has been a legendary character ever since the movie dropped all the way back in 1989! It’s been more than 30 years since it hit theaters.

If that doesn’t make you feel old, I don’t know what will.

I watch “Christmas Vacation” at least once a year. Whenever my family gets together for Christmas, we pop some popcorn, grab a beer or two and fire it up.

No matter how many times I watch the Griswolds squabble and argue, it never gets old. Why? Because we all know that’s more or less how huge family gatherings go.

One thing goes wrong and the dominos get kicked off!

There’s not a single bad character in the movie. From Cousin Eddie to Clark and everyone in between, they’re all a bag full of laughs.

If you disagree, you’re likely not someone I want to be friends with.

So, if you’ve never seen “Christmas” vacation before, I suggest you fire it up on HBO Max immediately. Trust me when I say you’re going to love it!
