There are two Christmas movies that are great comedies that our entire family loves, so no matter who is visiting, I know these movies will be fun to share.
If you haven't seen them before, get ready for some real belly laughs!
A Christmas Story (Rated PG)
A Christmas Story (Full-Screen Edition)Check PriceI will admit, "A Christmas Story" was not a personal favorite until I was married and old enough to identify with the characters. There were highlights in the movie that would make me laugh when I was a child, but now I absolutely roar with laughter over the "relationship" with the leg lamp, and I can certainly imagine big dogs eating our Thanksgiving turkey. Those things were simply too far from my own personal experiences as a child for me to really understand how funny they are to parents.
The "gift" from Aunt Clara has significance to everyone! Don't we all receive gifts we end up wearing just so the giver thinks we like them? While the bunny outfit might be a bit outrageous and exaggerated, I think we can all appreciate Ralphie's plight, but I especially "appreciate" the father's reaction.
As you can well imagine, there are several gifts that are perfect for "A Christmas Story" fans. You can see them here: A Christmas Story Gifts
Christmas Vacation (Rated PG-13)
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (Special Edition)Check Price"Christmas Vacation" starring Chevy Chase and a host of other favorite actors, is my all time favorite Christmas comedy. We actually watch it several times each year and still laugh like it was the first viewing.
There are so many wonderful characters that make this movie great. All of the actors do a tremendous job, but the outlandish actions of Cousin Eddie throughout this movie, either remind us all of a relative or make us appreciate our own relatives more.
Randy Quaid very nearly outshines Chevy Chase in this movie. Truly, one without the other would not be as funny. The two together make Christmas Vacation a fabulously hilarious comedy.
This movie has a PG-13 rating for good reason. While we all find it hilarious, it really is not appropriate for children due to profanity and adult situation references.
