Also, just break off that shitty little round window thing and fix it later. It’s the attic, who cares if it gets exposed to the elements for a few hours?

i mean, if you've ever seen a real christmas tree go up in flames. that house would have been destroyed.


that's only if you dont water them.

fake trees are actually much more likely to go up in flames.

Where did they go to cut down the tree? They were in legit mountains. There is nothing like that near Chicago.


Northwest of Chicago when you get near the Galina area and into southern Wisconsin it's very hilly. LaCrosse, WI has some areas around the river valley that could look like that. Stretch of a drive for the Griswold's.

Clark obviously makes money so I've always wondered why he didn't have the $7500 in his account to cover the check for the pool. He's living paycheck to paycheck?

I think it was more the principle of the matter that pissed Clark off most. Though, it really doesn’t rise to the level of having a nervous breakdown. If he was hoping for a $22,000 bonus to cover the cost of putting a down payment on a lake house, that would justify the outburst.

Yep. I was pretty surprised last year going there. Ski resorts are there, so not out of the realm of what they showed.

“ Don't forget the rubber sheets and gerbils.”

I have watched Christmas Vacation probably a hundred times and never caught the gerbils part of Cousin Eddie’s line when they first showed up in the RV. Heard it this week.

How much of a dick is the dad for making them just leave Clark when they go to lunch? For all they know he's just finishing getting dressed or on the can, but frick him I'm hungry.

And why didnt he have any insulation in that attic?

Maybe because he knew his energy bill for the month of December would have drained his account given the Christmas lights covering every inch of his house and the additional accomodations of all his relatives staying over.
