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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
