Christmas Story is one of the most overrated movies in history. If not for nostalgia, nobody would think so highly of it. And it can't even remotely touch Christmas Vacation IMO. Not even a little bit.

I respectfully disagree.

While they are very different movies in tone and delivery, both have at their heart a lot of nostalgia.

Anyway, my kids LOVE the Christmas carols at the Chinese restaurant...to the point I have to admonish them NOT to repeat them at school, lest I get a call from the principal.

Agreed. I've never liked it that much even as a kid.
