How the Actors From “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” Have Changed Over 30 Years
With Christmas just a few days away, Clark and Ellen Griswold plan to have a peaceful family gathering with tasty old-fashioned food and lovely presents. But things never go smoothly in their big family, and it all turns into a little disaster that they will never forget. The plot is simple, but it’s so true-to-life that we recognize ourselves and our friends, and we keep on laughing no matter how many times we’ve seen this comedy.
