Christmas Vacation . . . Most everyone, by now, is familiar with Christmas Vacation.  If you're not . . . rent the movie!  Or, better yet, buy it!  It's our FAVORITE Christmas movie. You'd think that after 10+ years of watching this movie we'd know every scene by heart. Not so!  Seems that each year we find some funny incident that we've overlooked.  Definitely a classic!

In this clip we catch Clark in a chatty conversation with the "ladies intimate apparel" clerk.  Question is . . who's selling and, (more importantly), who's buying???

Home Alone 2 - (sequels are never as good as the original but this one made a pretty good run at it) In this clip Harry Stern (Joe Pesci) and Marv Merchants (Daniel Stern) are making an attempt to retrieve a camera with film incriminating them in a house robbery.  The camera was stolen by Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin).  Harry and Marv do their best to talk Kevin into giving them the camera but Kevin is having none of it.  

As in Home Alone there is lots of action and much of it really funny.  Mostly because of the polished delivery by Pesci, Stern and Culkin.

A Christmas Story - Set in the 40's when we were little kids and Christmas was truly magical.  

In this scene Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) finally receives his membership papers for the Little Orphan Annie club's "Secret Circle" which includes a certificate and decoder ring.  Ralphie is so excited he can barely contain himself. 

Coachmen "Point of Order"

What was that the "final word"  on a Coachmen decoder ring???

Till Next Week

Ah, yes, "A Christmas Story" is an all-time favorite, as well as "It's a Wonderful Life". I do know the last line in that movie--Jimmy Stewart says, "Atta boy, Clarence".
