8. I do too
That isn't MY tree. :P

I used to put a wooden, hand-made set of Pink Floyd marching hammers on my tree top. I like unique decorations. :D

3. Knock it off!
I work retail - I'm going to be hearing and seeing that *$@% soon enough! Right after Halloween, as a matter of fact (they used to wait until after Thanksgiving but it just gets earlier and earlier :grr: ).

29. It goes like this...
"O pizza dude, O pizza dude, you bring our pizza piping hot.
O pizza dude, O pizza dude, you bring our pizza piping hot.
Your pepperooooooooooooooni's very nice
Your sausage adds a bit of spice
O pizza dude, O pizza dude, you bring our pizza piping hot!"

I know this, because I made it up a few years ago.

My husband thinks I'm weird.

7. Clark W. Griswold....


Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no! We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here! We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye! And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse! :evilgrin:

:hi: :loveya:

18. I was just yankin' yer chain
I think the movie is hilarious. It's the only decent Vacation movie alongside the first.

Chevy is funny in movies, but a REAL asshole offscreen. There's a reason you don't see him in many movies anymore. When his ill-fated talk show was canned back in the 90's, someone had remarked, "That's too bad, I feel sorry for Chevy that happened", to which Richard Belzer remarked, "Obviously, you don't know Chevy, do you?" :D

(You learn a lot of trivial shit living near Hollywood)

25. His early movies are good
"Foul Play", "Seems Like Old Times", "Fletch", and the underrated "Funny Farm". Of course, throw in the two previously mentioned "Vacation" movies and "Caddyshack", and it's pretty solid. :D

33. I also like when they get the second tree.
Especially when the squirrel jumps out and causes all kinds of mayhem.

34. Goddammit! Can we just SKIP Christmas one year? Pleeeeease?
I remember when I was a kid my mom would say she was sick of Christmas. I always thought she was Scroogish for saying that. Now I wholeheartedly agree.
