Christmas Vacation is one of the best Christmas movies out there still, and it's because of how hilariously accurate it is. The holidays rarely run smoothly for any family and the Griswold's are a perfect example of a dysfunctional family at the holidays. Here are some of their most quotable moments!

1. "We're all in misery."

Like I said, Christmas can be stressful. We all have to admit that even during the happiest time of year we can get burnt out and lose the meaning of Christmas in all of the hustle.

2. "If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am now."

The shock of that one relative showing up that you really weren't expecting to see this holiday season really is one of the most shocking things.

3. "You serious, Clark?"

Eddie says this right after Clark tells the kids that Santa has been spotted. If you haven't said this to your friends or family in response to something completely unrelated to Christmas Vacation, you haven't watched this movie enough.

4. "Worse? How could things get any worse? Take a look around here, Ellen! We're at the threshold of hell! "

The holiday season can often get a bit intense and no one knows that better than the Griswold's.

5. "That's the gift that keeps on giving ."

Whether it's the jelly of the month club or anything else, this is one of my family's favorite quotes.

6. "My tree."

Another family favorite, the tree is rarely referred to unless it's said in the same painful, shocked, shriek that Clark says this in after his tree has been burnt to a crisp.

7. "And why is the carpet all wet, Todd?"

"I don't know, Margo!"

Tones of voices are half the humor for this movie.

8. "Lotta sap in here! Looks great! Little full, lotta sap. "

This is probably one of those you really have to see the scene played out to find it funny. But it still makes for funny references later!

9. "Where's the Tylenol?"

Because it's not Christmas unless someone's giving everyone a headache.

10. "The little lights...they aren't twinkling."

"I know, Art. Thanks for noticing."

Because there's nothing like accomplishing something and having someone immediately point out what's wrong with it.

11. "Save the neck for me, Clark!"

Because we all know an Eddie!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
