Ah, my favourite Christmas movie.

One note, though -- Cousin Eddie is played by Randy Quaid, not Dennis.

Thanks, Darren, for catching my brain fart. With Randy so much in the news, you'd think I wouldn't make that mistake!

Randy is in the news? He had some trouble in Canada? I live in Vancouver and didn't catch a glimpse of that story. I read Quaid wanted to "revive" his career here.

Once again I'm reminded that the movie industry is just around the corner but still so far away. That always feels kind of strange.

But the movie surely is great. Everytime I see a house that is exorbitantly illuminated I wonder if Chevy Chase/Clark Griswold lives there.
