The Muppets Christmas Carol. We always wait for Gonzo to say "You are such an idiot." to Rizzo when he walks between the bars on a locked gate to retrieve something after the two of them struggled to climb over it in the first place.

Christmas Story !!! My adult kids say I am Ralphie , and that time period resonates with when I was a kid , so its a major fav here .

Christmas Vacation ... we. Laff because it pretty much describes our home for Christmas week when we have all of our kids , their spouses, all the grandkids ,a crazy uncle and a assorted pets here for 9 days . Like many families we are spread out all over the country ,so everyone wants to come home , see friends and family and unwind here with the Queen and me . No pretenses , no expectations , just fun .

Been doing it for decades . We all ski and skate and xc ski and are musicians too so we get along , Each day we try and do a fun thing together even if its game nite or spontaneous jam sessions . I am continually amazed that the college age grandkids still want to come up for a week. This same crew do it again in the summer for a week too when there is a week long river festival and reunion week in our town.

Yeah it costs a few sheckels to feed and entertain this army for a week , but hell its worth every cent to make these memories !,

the only thing we dont have is that Randy Quaid character who is emptying the shitter of RV in Clark's driveway hahahaha

My own personal tradition is to watch Die Hard and/or Christmas Vacation after everyone else goes to bed while enjoying a few craft beers or some bourbon on Christmas Eve.
