National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)

Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo

This is a pretty funny Christmas movie. Of Course, that is what it is suppose to be. It has all the elements of a good Christmas movie; Getting the Christmas tree, putting Christmas lights up on the house, having the family over for Christmas, Christmas dinner, and it is all done in a humorous fashion. I enjoy watching it around Christmas time every year, or, every other year, depending on how much TV I want to watch that year. But, all in all, it is worth watching again and again around Christmas time.

This movie also has several of my favorite Christmas songs in it also;

• Mavis Staples - Christmas Vacation Theme

(There are 3 versions of this song. One in the opening credits of the movie, One in the end credits of the movie, and a Radio Edit Version. The opening credits version and the end credits version are the same song, however in the opening credits version it has extra sound effects in it. I like the end credits version the best.)

• Ray Charles - That Spirit Of Christmas

(This song is sometimes reffered to as the Attic Song, because it is the song that was playing in the scene where the main character was stuck in the attic.)

• Bing Crosby - Mele Kalikimaka

• Lindsey Buckingham - Holiday Road
