My family watches Christmas Vacation each year as one of our favorite Christmas traditions. The Griswolds just seem to understand what college students experience while home for the holidays. Here are 12 different ways that this unique family just gets us:

1. Driving to dinner has you like...

"Please send help."

2. Dodging that creepy uncle every year proves to be quite the task.

3. Questions about your future are coming in hot, and you're just not prepared.

"What are your post-grad plans?"

4. And more questions you just can't seem to escape.

You're just like "I don't want to be an adult."

5. And when you finally spot that bottle of wine hanging out in the kitchen, a glimmer of hope appears!

6. Maintaining your happy face all night long can be testing.

"Ha ha, good one..."

7. But a few drinks might just help you keep jail time off your personal record.

8. Everyone in the kitchen is freaking out.

9. You decide to try a scoop of that lonely, odd looking salad that no one has touched yet.

Yikes, instantly regretting that one.

10. The family dog becomes your new best friend for the night.

Thank goodness for dogs.

11. But in the end, you know you love them.

"Bring it in, guys."

12. And just like that, another Christmas has come and gone.

Merry Christmas!
