Christmas Vacation (1989): The Griswold Holiday Classic

This week, the Recall crew takes on, perhaps the greatest Christmas movie of all time. This is a film that follows the Griswold family as they prepare for a traditional Christmas celebration at their suburban Chicago home. True to form, Clark’s attempts to create the perfect holiday lead to a series of hilarious mishaps and escalating disasters. So Dave, Rob and Kurt will take a look at Clark’s Christmas obsession, impending family chaos, the stress of work and random holiday mishaps that all ultimately lead to a heartwarming resolution, and ultimately a great Christmas season. This movie has become a classic exploring the themes of family, perseverance, and the humorous chaos of holiday traditions. Clark’s unrelenting optimism and love for his family drive the story, even as everything seems to go wrong. Xmas Vacation is beloved for its slapstick humor, memorable one-liners, and relatability, becoming a holiday staple for audiences worldwide and is still a Xmas staple in a lot of households to this day.
