which christmas movie do you watch every year?

[Simba's Mom]

Like some others here, we watch "Christmas Vacation" every year. My parents come and visit for the holidays (they're from another part of the country) and the irony is that when the relatives ring the front doorbell in the movie-bong bong-my mother laughs. Little does she know that we can really identify with the Griswold family at that point. However, one really touching part of the movie is near the latter part when Clark asks his Dad if he's going to read the Christmas Story, and his father says something like "It's your house-I'm retiring". That always makes my Dad get misty-eyed, and as a result so do I.

I have! I liked it, but not quite as fanatically as I do the first one. Also, the TTA is the best!

i tend to agree with you, the sequels of things are never that good!.

and glad you like the TTA, it's lovely for a quick relaxing ride. also i love the wind going through your hair as you ride it.

haha

When we were kids My sister and i would "ham it up" when the song "Sisters" came on -early in the movie.

wE LIVE far apart for the last 20 years-but whomever catches the movie first-calls the other one with the reciever next to the TV when that song is playing-and we sing it to each other!
