Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) wants his family to have a "fun old fashion family Christmas!" That involves getting the perfect tree, putting lights on the house, going sledding, and spending time with the family...the WHOLE family. Naturally, everything goes horribly horribly wrong. And it's amazing.
I don't know a single person that doesn't like this movie. It's hilarious from start to finish, and the madness includes getting a tree WAY too big for the living room, sending an icicle through the yuppie neighbors' window, shooting down a hill on a sled at the speed of light, electrocuting a cat, and kidnapping their boss...oh and there's a squirrel too. There's just too much and it's too funny.
And a special nod to Mae Questel who plays Aunt Bethany...it's her last on-screen appearance and she is probably best known as the voice of Betty Boop!
If it's been a while since you've seen this, or if you never have, I very much recommend it. It'll put you in the holiday spirit in no time!
