This is the time of year that Christmas movies start appearing on our tv screen. I like the occasional Christmas movie, but not really into them like Mels, well except for this one and I’m sure you’ve all heard of it - Christmas vacation!
It has it all and come on who doesn’t love the Griswold family? This family does it all and all with a crazy doting father who just wants to have the perfect Christmas! The movie starts with the family going out into the middle of nowhere and getting their family Christmas tree. Not only that but he has invited the rest of his family to his house for the holidays and that’s when chaos begins.
You might feel bad for Clark, but trust me you’ll also be laughing A LOT, especially when cousin Eddie enters the scene. Clark has never really been to happy to see him, because he’s definitely the black sheep of their family. If by some Christmas Miracle you haven’t by chance seen this you need to check it out now, trust me once you do. It will definitely be added to your must watch list each year. It even made Mels top 10 Must Watch for 2020!
Jennifer Rhodes Cleere met Melanie back when True Blood was popular and they have been friends ever since. She loves TV (especially things that make you smile), Doctor Who, Finding new shows, and regularly provides awesome fandom items for Muser Giveaways. Jennifer is now a proud member of the VIPers - the Melanie's Muses Spotlight Feature Team!

I've been following the misadventures of the Griswolds for many years now. Even back in the 80's, I saw most of these movies in the theaters starting with European Vacation. So needless to say when National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation hit theaters in 1989, I was there opening weekend. It is a yearly tradition for a lot of my friends with many classic lines that get repeated with bursts of laughter.
I don’t watch many traditional Christmas movies, I go for the more oddball stuff, but this incredible cast makes this a must watch. Juliette Lewis and Johnny Galecki were in the early days of their career but had no trouble joining the cast and holding their own against Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo and the show-stealing Julia Louis-Dreyfus!
With so many wonderful moments, I can’t really say that much about it except that if you haven't seen it by now, where the hell have you been?
Dave Christy loves horror, music, documentaries and more. He is also the co-runner of several fan based groups including Morningstars (THE Lucifer fan group also run by Melanie), and now is a member of the VIPers Spotlight Lounge team for Melanie's Muses. Other than "In The Spotlight" Features -check out his "31 Days Of Halloween Movies"
