So true, just watched this the other weekend with one of my brother and my mom and me and my brother were laugh so much cause we got alot of the jokes now that we are older
My High School used to play this song right after the bell rang to dismiss us students for Christmas vacation. It always filled me up with joy to think the school would add that special little detail.
It's on my list to watch every year. Along with A Christmas Story, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, Ernest Saves Christmas, and How the Grinch Stole Christmas [Animated].
1989 - 2018 and this script still applies to working class family at this time of the year. But with a smile and a laughter, life is good. Merry Christmas Everyone!
@@TheKonga88 You were in the film and then ran away from a wedding because of some spooky ants and then a ghost killed Santa in a hilarious way before the moon got sliced in 3 halves and Santa ran in revealing he was alive?
Mavis Staples - Christmas Vacation. An unheralded gem. Inexplicably absent from any & every Christmas album or playlist anywhere. What a fantastic song it is. The naivety, simplicity and bouncy almost childish beat. Can't believe nobody knows about it. NEVER ever heard on the radio. "Hip hip hooray for Christmas vacation"!!
WE HAVE IT ON VEIDO,THE FIRST TIME WE WATCHED IT ON VEIDO, WE RENTED, FROM GENERAL STORE 🏬, IT WAS REALLY FUNNY 😅😂 THEN WE TOLD OUR FRIENDS JIM AND JEAN ABOUT IT, AND WHEN OUR DAD WAS AROUND, AND WHEN HE WAS ON THE ROAD FOR TRUCKING 🚚 WE TOLD DAD ABOUT IT THEN WE RENTED THE MOVIE FROM THEM JIM AND JEAN, THEN OUR FRIENDS JIM AND JEAN, THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY FUNNY TOO, BUT OTHER THAN THAT,THERE USED TO BE GENERAL STORE JUST DOWN THE ROAD FROM US, BUT I DON'T THINK ITS NOT THERE ANYMORE WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER AND SMALLER
@@pat1947100 OH WE WILL WITH OUR FAMILY MEMBERS FROM OCONTO AND PROBABLY UP IN PESHTIGO TOO JOE AND SHIRLEY WILL PROBABLY COME OVER TO OUR HOUSE 🏡 FOR CHRISTMAS 🎄EVE NIGHT 🌃 WHEN THEY GET DONE WORKING ⚒
Mit meinen Kindern schaue ich jedes Jahr diesen Film. Es ist bei uns zur Tradition geworden. Mittlerweile bestimmt schon 13 Jahre. Euch allen ein frohes und gemütliches Weihnachtsfest.
I was 12 when Christmas vacation came out . My dad brother and I went to see in the theaters . We watch it together at Christmas every year since then and now my son and daughter join in as well .
In my family it's tradition to watch this on Christmas Day at night Movie never gets old, so many funny parts When i'm grown up and have kids i'll hopefully watch it with them to.
Mavis Staples is one of the greatest and this song along with the movie really hold a special place in my heart. I have grown up watching this movie through the years. Mavis Staples has an incredible voice and during the opening credits, I can feel the nostalgia set in, even after all these years. Todd asks, "Hey Griswald, where do you think you are going to put a tree that big?" Griswald responds, "Bend over and I'll show you." Todd responded, "You got a lot of nerve talking to me like that." Griswald responded, "I wasn't talking to you." Pure classic.
It's 1989, Christmas eve, alone at a truck stop in Bolingbrook IL. See a theater across the way, walk over and see this movie. It's been my favorite Christmas movie ever since.
Maybe I should end Black Friday with this movie and the hard eggnog after a Black Friday spent rigging up the lights and working bingo at the firehouse. I don't shop on that day either LOL!
This is always the first song on my Christmas playlist every year 🎄 Its been a crap year,gonna try to salvage whats left of 2023 & Christmas decorate early... Hope everyone has a Great Christmas Season and a Happy Blessed 2024 🙏🏻🎄🙏🏻🎄🙏🏻🎄🙏🏻
I kept hearing this song in the Kroger commercials, and I’m like, “I know this song, but from where?” Then I sat down to watch National Lampoons Christmas Vacation and screamed, “THAT’S IT!!”
I thought this movie was funny enough when I first saw it, at age 7, but being able to comprehend things I couldn’t at that age and realizing that Clark hates Eddie made it even better.
I have this tradition, my family and friends all go to a tree farm to cut down our tree the first weekend of december. Then they all come to our house for dinner. We all sit around the fire, all 30+ of us, watching this movie and it literally is perfect.
me too since i was like 4 yrs and it continued yrs after lol.now me and my siblings understand what the parents were really dealing with imagine that shit show lol
This is the best Christmas movie ever. I first watched the movie when I was 14 years old. It becamed a tradition to play this movie every single Christmas.
I wish I could go back to the first time I saw this movie... I miss being a kid living life care free, before bills, heart breaks, Corona, etc... Anyways Merry Christmas 🥰

I truly love this song and movie.Ray Charles the spirit of Christmas is one of the best Christmas music ever made. My dad would play the CD when I was a teenager,, now I play the CD for my daughters every holiday. And we watch Clark fuck up his house every Christmas. Mele kalikimaka
It's amazing how a song from the movie can take you right back to a memory. One of your first loves going to the movies at Christmas time. Every time I hear this song I always think of her. She's the one that got away. A time when life was so much simpler. In my early twenties not a care in the world no big boy bills nothing but fun
Most underrated Christmas song ever...
My son says the exact same thing.
TOTALLY!
Not justice
Is that
Love this movie
"I hear a funny squeaking noise."
"You couldn't hear a dump truck in a nitroglycerin factory."
🤣😂
An upside of getting older was understanding more and more of the humor that I didn’t catch at a young age, when this movie came out.
bahahah i felt this
So true, just watched this the other weekend with one of my brother and my mom and me and my brother were laugh so much cause we got alot of the jokes now that we are older
When I was younger I thought Smoky and the Bandit was all Burt Reynolds….. then the older I got I realized it was all Sheriff Buford T Justice!!!!
in my family its tradition to watch this movie every year before christmas.
Butter kuchenyummyumm same

"why's the carpet all wet, Todd?"
"i don't know Margo-o!"
-classic
"something must have crashed into the window and then the stereo!"
"Where you going to put a tree that big Griswold"
"Bend over and I'll show you"
"How dare you talk to me like that"
"I wasn't talking to you"
😂

Heard a cover of this on the radio at Walmart today. It reminded me of this song and amazing classic movie.
Well we can do a Rick Astley and bring it into the present as a hit, cementing it as a classic once more.
It's not the Holiday's without watching National lampoon's Christmas vacation at least once during the Holidays
Und wenn ich diesen Film zum 1000 Mal sehe, ohne die Familie "Griswold" wäre die Vorweihnachtszeit nur halb so schön!
Rudi Hammenser ohja da stimme ich zu!
wirklich so
Rudi Hammenser Ist halt einfach so

When people ask why the 80's were so great. Movies like this is why.
I've always loved this song and playing it at the beginning with the animation made that movie all the more better. Christmas Vacation!!!!!!!
It just ain’t Christmas without the Griswolds Christmas Vacation. Great film and this song is so Christmassy. Love it. ☘️👍❤️🎅🏼
Wow, after 30 years or so of watching this movie this song finally stuck with me. What a great jingle!!

“The gift that keeps on giving the whole year”
That it is Eddie!
That it is Edward that it is indeed
This song is so easily stuck in your head
Just like holiday road by Lindsey buckingham from the first vacation

Every year I kick off the season on Black Friday with hard eggnog and this movie. Screw shopping lol
Maybe I should end Black Friday with this movie and the hard eggnog after a Black Friday spent rigging up the lights and working bingo at the firehouse. I don't shop on that day either LOL!
Jesus....that reminds me of my childhood....just great
This is always the first song on my Christmas playlist every year 🎄
Its been a crap year,gonna try to salvage whats left of 2023 & Christmas decorate early...
Hope everyone has a Great Christmas Season and a Happy Blessed 2024 🙏🏻🎄🙏🏻🎄🙏🏻🎄🙏🏻
This is my favorite movie of all time. I watch it year round. Spring summer fall winter. Day or night.
So many things can change in a family since this first aired. It brings back so many good memories
My childhood...
I'm a 80s kids
Showing this to my kids in 2018......
I was cranking this out and singing it
Good times ...
I kept hearing this song in the Kroger commercials, and I’m like, “I know this song, but from where?” Then I sat down to watch National Lampoons Christmas Vacation and screamed, “THAT’S IT!!”
Najlepsza Piosenka Świąteczna Pozdrowienia z Polski ❤🌨️🎄
It's not Christmas without this song. Merry Christmas everyone!
Same to you, Joshua! =)
Merry Merry Christmas

den Film kennt man in und auswendig, genau so wie den Song.....und nach all den Jahren immer noch genial!!!
Nothing like listening to Christmas music in August
This year?...........I'll take it compared to what we've suffered throughout this year!!
how the fuck can people hate this, the song is good, the film is funny, the griswolds tell it like it is
Obviously not in the Xmas spirit, or from this country. Makes you wonder what kind of music they like. NOT.
I see this movie every day
I have this tradition, my family and friends all go to a tree farm to cut down our tree the first weekend of december. Then they all come to our house for dinner. We all sit around the fire, all 30+ of us, watching this movie and it literally is perfect.
