Melanie's Magical Christmas Movies - Day 24 & 25 - National Lampoons Christmas Vacation & The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!

​Welcome to Melanie's Magical Christmas Movies! Every day in December, leading up to Christmas, Melanie will present one of her favorite Christmas movies complete with a trailer (and hopefully where you can watch it!) 

It's Christmas Eve! So today I bring you TWO movies. If you watched my video you will know that these are the 2 we watch EVERY Christmas Eve and this year will be no different - so today you get a DOUBLE FEATURE!! If you HAVEN'T seen my top 10 2020 Must Watch Christmas movies - here's the video for that too!

​Day 24 - Movie 1 -  National Lampoons Christmas Vacation!

Every Christmas Eve we watch 2 movies - and that really kicks off Christmas for us.  Em's best friend comes over, they open their Christmas Eve gifts, get hot cocoa, and we settle down for a double feature!

First up - Christmas Vacation.  This movie is just outrageous family craziness, with the best Christmas Lights EVER! I would LOVE to have the whole house covered like this, although our neighbors, even though they aren't as bad as Margo, I am sure would be unamused. 

Family get togethers are crazy! As we watch this every year we can relate so much, partly because a lot of what you see on screen represents an exaggerated version of our family back in the day, when they were all around, right down to the parents!

Classic scenes, Classic lines, and even if you haven't seen it I guarantee SOMEONE around you will have used at LEAST one phrase from this movie at some point over the holidays, so you are definitely missing out!

​Day 24 - Movie 2 -  The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!

The second movie is a Hallmark original, but it is available to buy on DVD, or watch free right now with Amazon Prime.  For us, this really signifies Christmas.  We quote Henry Winkler's character all year round, and it really captures the true spirit of Christmas!  We joke every year about the Hallmark Snow (special effects are not their strong point), but somehow that just makes this more endearing.

Before you Hallmark Haters start judging, let me tell you that Greg is NOT a big Hallmark fan at all, and he LOVES this! It is worth watching for the Fonzie lines alone.  From the HUGE Christmas wreath, to the one red light bulb, this movie warms my heart, and I hope if you haven't see it, it will warm yours too.  Even a Grinch can't dislike The Fonz!
