Andy K (10823 KP) rated National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) in Movies

Dec 4, 2018

Who doesn't get fed up with the relatives sometimes?

In my top 3 Christmas movies of all time.

This time, the vacation comes to the Griswolds as the relatives come by for a helping of holiday cheer as Clark decides to makes his home a Christmas light spectacle while waiting for his Christmas bonus.

I think it resonates because we have all had those trying times with the family or the one relative you wish you could tell off or not have to sit next to.

The witty banter among the family as well as Chevy Chase's impeccable dry wit makes the film a venerable holiday classic for sure.

SANTAAAAAAAA!

Elf stars Will Ferrell as buddy the elf, after climbing into Santa's Christmas sack as a baby, he is accidentally taken (or kidnapped as he was not returned) to the north pole, their he is raised as an elf until discovering the truth and decides to find his parents and discover who he is.
With plenty of laughs and memorable moments, it's easy to see why elf has become a family Christmas classic.

Kate WInslet and Jack Black (0 more)

This film is saved by Kate Winslet and Jack Black, I just love their understated relationship and how it develops, their characters seem genuine and I root for them every time! Cameron Diaz overacts her role, I am not a lover of Jude Law and the scenes with his children are twee. Nevertheless in the UK this film is on every Christmas and I watch it every Christmas!

Meeting the Father Turns Deadly

It’s December of 1926, and Jane Wunderly is accompanying her fiancé, Redvers, to his home in a small English village to meet his father. The two men have grown apart, so it is news to Redvers that his father is also engaged and planning to wed on Christmas morning. However, this bride-to-be is twice widowed and rumor has it that her previous husbands didn’t die of natural causes. Then an attack is followed up by a suspicious death at a Christmas party. Can Jane and Redvers figure out what is happening?

When I learned that we were getting a between the books novella this Christmas, I had to read it. And I enjoyed it. We see a couple supporting characters in addition to Jane and Redvers. Plus, the new characters are great. The plot kept me guessing, even when I thought I had a handle on what was going on. While not all the Christmas traditions are the same, it still felt familiar enough that I enjoyed the dose of Christmas spirit in December. Whether you already like this series or are looking for a quick Christmas read, you’ll be glad you picked up this ebook only novella.
