That old Chevy Chase Christmas mishap comedy was such a quotable movie that it was hard to narrow it down to just ten! But I did it anyway! Please enjoy my top ten quotes from the most relatable dysfunctional family Christmas celebration ever.
“Where’s Eddie, he usually eats these goddamn things?” Clark “Oh, not recently. He read that squirrels were high in cholesterol.” Catherine
“…we’re gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fuckin’ Kaye.” Clark
“If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn’t be more surprised than I am right now.” Clark
“You couldn’t hear a dump truck driving through a nitroglycerine plant!” Uncle Lewis
“We needed a coffin…I mean a tree…” Clark
“I don’t know if I oughta go sailin down no hill with nothin between the ground and my brains but a piece of government plastic.” Eddie “Do you really think it matters Eddie?” Clark
“Dad, did you bring a saw?” Rusty
“She’ll see it later honey, her eyes are frozen.” Ellen
“The little lights aren’t twinkling.” Art “I know Art. Thanks for noticing.” Clark
“Grace? She passed away thirty years ago!” Aunt Edna
I hope you enjoyed re-living this Chevy Chase holiday classic. Hope your holiday proves to be a little more fun and functional.
Cheers!
Love,
