Merry Christmas and Welcome to the 12 Blogs of Christmas!! This is the beautiful beginning of a wonderful insane challenge that I am placing upon myself. Yes my friends I am going to attempt to write 12 blogs about Christmas themed things! So without further ado here is BLOG 1 of Christmas . . .
I think it would only be appropriate to kick of the 12 blogs of Christmas the same way I kick off the Christmas season. Thus I have one phrase for you . . .
HIP HIP HOORAY IT’S CHRISTMAS VACATION!
That’s right I kick of the Christmas season with the annual official viewing of National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation with my family. This is my all time favorite Christmas movie and my Christmas Season is just not right without getting to see it at least once. This year I had the annual viewing with my parents on the Sunday after Thanksgiving and then AMC did the 5 nights of Christmas Vacation so I got to see a little bit of the movie every night this week.
I think it is a true testament to how good a movie is when you can actually recite it and I could give a pretty accurate recitation of Christmas Vacation. Not to mention that it has so many quotable lines:
“I don’t want to spend the Holidays dead”
“It’s the holidays and we’re all in misery.”
“If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am now.”
I could go on there are just to many to list!!!
If you have never seen this movie it is a MUST SEE! You will either relate or it will make you feel better about your Christmas gatherings. Either way you will get a good laugh!
Until next time . . . Merry Christmas and PLAY BALL!
