Grab the popcorn maker. I need to make some popcorn!
Today, I'm watching two 1980s classic holiday films: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and A Christmas Story. These films are a staple of my holiday season. Both are comedies involving families wanting the 'perfect' Christmas, but nothing goes quite right! I would argue that Christmas Vacation is Chevy Chase's best movie. Chase's character is so over the top, and yet timeless. As for A Christmas Story, the 'leg lamp award' is ridiculous, but also highlights superficiality in a way that is poignant and remains relevant today.
