HIP-HIP-HOORAY FOR CHRISTMAS VACATION
On December 1, 1989 the world was introduced to the third and most successful sequel in the Vacation franchise as Clark Griswold's dream of having a fun old-fashioned family Christmas descends into a hilarious nightmare of dark comedy misadventure.
Released on the 35th Anniversary of the film's premier, this book is a celebration of the movie along with trivia and behind-the-scenes details related to Christmas Vacation, which originated from a John Hughes short story called "Christmas '59" originally published in the December 1980 issue of National Lampoon magazine.
If National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is an annual must-watch film for you each holiday season, or if it's a movie you enjoy quoting from "the whole year through" then you'll love this collection of fascinating details about it and the people involved in making it.
