It's that time ...

Everyone has their favourite Christmas movie(s) to watch and mine is Christmas Vacation!

Not to take away from Charlie Brown's Christmas which is the holy grail of all Christmas viewing, but Christmas Vacation makes me laugh every year at the same corny slapstick comedy.

Lyrics to "Christmas Vacation"

It's that time, Christmas time is here

Everybody knows there's not a better time of year
Hear that sleigh, Santa's on his way
Hip, Hip Hooray, for Christmas Vacation

 Gotta a ton of stuff to celebrate

(jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)
Now it's getting closer I can't wait
(jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)
Gonna make this holiday as perfect as can be
Just wait and see this Christmas Vacation

This old house, sure is looking good
Got ourselves the finest snowman in the neighbourhood
Ain't it fun, always on the run
That's how it’s done on Christmas Vacation

Lets all deck the halls and light the lights
(jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)
Get a toasty fire burning bright
(jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)
Give St Nick the warmest welcome that he's ever had
We're so glad it Christmas Vacation

And when the nights are peaceful and serene
We can cuddle up and do our Christmas dreaming
(jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)
(jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)

Peace and joy and love are everywhere

(jing-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling-ling)
You can feel the magic in the air
(jang-a-lang-a-lang-a-lang-lang)

Let the spirit of the season carry us away
Hip, Hip Hooray for Christmas Vacation

    Fa-la-la-la-la and ho ho ho

jingle, jangle, jingle as we go

Let the spirit of the season carry us away

Hip, Hip Hooray for Christmas Vacation

I know the "young ones" think Will Farrell and such actors are funny - they don't know funny if you compare them to Chevy Chase, Dan Ackroyd, Eugene Levy and that era of comeday. Now, those guys are funny!
