I actually never watched this until a few weeks ago. I went to the movies to see it and it was a surprisingly full theater. Very funny! I'm a fan of the Vacation franchise, but I always skipped this one because the kids were too young looking in my opinion. I'm actually glad that I got to experience when and how I did.

I love that the movie starts with them on the road, basically telling the audience, "this is what you're used to, but you're going to be getting something very different,". It's one of the big reasons why Christmas Vacation is my favorite film in the series. It went against the formula. Also, it's just damn hilarious.

Santa is making himself clumsy like Clark. He fell between his sleigh and the rooftop, caused the snowman's head to roll after him, got shocked, broke the brick chimney while trying to slide down, turned the fireplace on without noticing the switch, got shot in the head by a toy soldier firing its cannon, jumped through the ceiling, slid down the lights, and held onto the sleigh from underneath. Plus, how come he doesn't have a belt?(1:36) And to conclude, when did he invent a candy cane walkie talkie while his reindeer had headphones?
