Christmas Vacation

Hands down, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is the best Christmas-themed comedy ever filmed. Personally, I make it habit to watch this movie about ten million times between Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve. Even after seeing the film so many times that I can recite it word-for-word, Christmas Vacation remains as hilarious and entertaining as the previous holiday season. More than just a seasonal film, it’s one of those rare comedies that it near perfect from beginning to end.

Christmas Vacation follows the ongoing exploits of Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase) and the Griswold family, but this particular rendition of the classic Vacation movies is arguably the best. As in the previous films, Clark’s goal is to create the perfect vacation for his family. Only this time, instead of hitting the road for Wally World or flying to Europe, the Griswolds stay at home in suburban Chicago.

Christmas Cards

With the arrival of web, the sending of Christmas cards nearly disappeared. The post workplace not had file sales in card deliveries. However whether it is as much as InvitationBox.com, the good previous tradition might be reinstated. With more than a thousand designs out there in Christmas cards, which may printed with your personal message, the fun of sending season greetings is brought back to Christmas.

If you are a more conventional type, then there are a wide variety of Holiday cards with Christmas timber and snowflakes, or the all the time laughing cuddly Santa Claus. If you are in search of more up to date Christmas cards, then classy black and white winter scenes printed on a gray mirror like materials could be the right possibility for you.

Christmas Lights

Everyone, young or old loves to decorate his or her Christmas tree with colorful lights and festoons. Some Christmas trees look so beautiful when you adorn them with lovely vintage Christmas lights. These lights add a rustic charm to the Christmas tree. It gives a very traditional feel to the entire decoration. Lights are available in a wide variety of colors, shapes and sizes in the market. You can get LED lights, string lights, rope lights, ball lights, icicle lights easily in the market. However, you will not find vintage lights everywhere. They have a special appeal due to the grace they add to the tree and the festival.

As mentioned earlier, vintage lights are rare to find. You might have to hunt for them. Some people love to collect such lights. They treasure these lights and bring them out only on Christmas or other special occasions. They do not produce these lights in large numbers. Very few manufacturers make them. Therefore, if you happen to come across some vintage lights anywhere, even during your vacation, you should buy them. It will add so much of beauty and glamour to your Christmas tree that people will only have praises for your tree.

Christmas Countdown

Christmas is a time where families get together and spend time celebrating in various ways. Most people enjoy a really good meal - traditionally Turkey or Goose is served, but these days many people enjoy duck, pheasant or various other meats, fish, or vegetarian alternatives to their own taste. Christmas pudding, mince pies, roast chestnuts, brandy butter and many other foodstuffs that can only be found at this time of year are enjoyed as well. Tables are usually decorated to show that this is a special festive meal, with Christmas crackers in bright colours and sometimes wreaths of holy and other evergreen decorations, or their more common artificial variants.

The giving of gifts is another traditional part of Christmas with stockings hung by children for Santa Claus or Father Christmas to fill, in other countries shoes are filled with bonbons by St Nicholas, but the general gist of things is still the same with family and friends giving each other gifts in celebration.
