Christmas just isn’t Christmas without spending at least an hour or so in the company of the Griswolds and their RV-dwelling relatives. Arguably one of the funniest holiday movies ever, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation is a study in families, pressure, and how Murphy’s Law – anything that can go wrong, will – can strike the best of us, even when we think we have it all in hand.
Transport yourself back to a family Christmas 1980s style, and comfort yourself with the knowledge that, despite your best efforts, things may not necessarily happen the way you expect them to. Just when you think you have the holiday all figured out, life will throw you a curveball in the form of your own personal Cousin Eddie, but take heart from these Christmas Vacation quotes which show that it really does happen to the best of us.
Whether you’re looking for funny words to write in a card, or simply looking for proof that bad things happen to Clarks and Ellens despite their best efforts, these Christmas Vacation quotes will encapsulate the highs and lows of family occasions in a lighthearted, hilarious way. So, if the lights don’t work, the turkey implodes, or the cat ends up being electrocuted on the tree lights, know that you’re in excellent company, and that your own personal Christmas Star, whatever that might be, is still there to guide you, even when it all goes wrong.
