I can’t imagine anyone other than Darrin McGavin as The Old Man.

If I recall, he was the dad also in the Jean Sheppard story about the Fourth of July. Perfectly cast.

Only I didn't say "Fudge." I said THE word, the big one, the queen-mother of dirty words, the "F-dash-dash-dash" word!

My favorite scene from the movie.

I actually am not as big a fan of this movie as most, but it is cute.

I actually prefer National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

We'll have the hap-hap-happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby danced with Danny effing Kaye.

(hmmm. I sense a foul-mouthed theme here in my favorite movie quotes.)

The part where the hound dogs got in and ate the turkey, if
you look closely the dogs ear is stuck in the door.

Love it for so many reasons not the least of which is enjoying Higbees in downtown Cleveland and the Soldiers and Sailors Monument during the parade. Now if they could have gotten the Christmas tree from the old Sterling Linder department store it would have approached Christmas memory perfection.

Scut Farkus. The best redhead villain ever? I mean, yellow eyes. YELLOW EYES!!!

I once had a job unloading trucks. The glorious position required that I had to pass on my valuable honed skills on to others when they started. I took pains to point out that many of the cases were from Fragile, Italy. Much of what we handled was from this exotic locale; the name is synonymous with old-world craftsmanship—we were lucky to work for an outfit that worked in such fine commerce. I’d say 75% had never heard of Fragile and looked at me in an odd manner, which said something about the other 25% and the job.

“Over the years I got to be quite a connesour of soap.”

I can sympathize with that. My grandfather could have given Lee Ermy cussing lessons and I mimicked him at inappropriate times.

“The first time I saw it, I literally fell on the floor laughing from Mrs. Schwartz’s tirade on the phone.”

Listening as the kid gets whipped over the phone always cracks me up
