I remember watching “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” with my wife. She hadn’t seen it.

Had to explain how a christmas bonus could buy a swimming pool. That a man like Clark worked for a manufacturer, was one of the heads of a department and could easily expect such a thing...

.... Under Reagan.

I remember way back my Dad getting bonuses when the company was doing well, it was an aerospace company but many other companies at that time gave bonuses.

Companies were prosperous for the most part and they were located here in the U.S., then the exodus started.

President Trump has made a great effort to start turning that around, I pray he is successful making us great again.

I didn’t think a chemist did that well either.

When Christmas Vacation first came out, I hated it. Now I appreciate the movie

The first is still the best.
