Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure (2003)

If  you're a follower you will know that yesterday I watched Christmas Vacation. If you want a recap you can get it here! Well I figured that i just as well could keep up the fun with the second one.

So we kinda gone a bit away from the Griswold family. Instead we follow their Cousin Eddie, a somewhat loser that can be outsmart by a monkey. Just before Christmas Eddie loses his job. He comes back to beg for his job when a monkey bites him. To get out of a lawsuit they pay off Eddie with a payed Christmas vacation on in the South Pacific.. Given that Eddie is well an idiot off cause everything goes wrong, They go sailing and end up stranded on an island. Since Christmas is right around the corner its up to Eddie and the family to make a proper Christmas.

So apparently I just live in a wrong country.. at least when it comes to YouTube.. stupid thing won't let me watch the trailer >.<

anyway... So being a Dane I'm used to that cold thing called snow being a part of Christmas.. know that's not the standard all around but it's just a i don't know what Christmas is to me.. kinda like Christmas smells like Cinnamon. So watching a Christmas movie without the snow was well a bit weird. However.. what the movies missing in snow it makes up for in fun. Kinda wished I watched this one yesterday cause it is so much more fun. Mostly cause they are just so unlucky and yet they feel lucky.

So because YouTube is CRUEL! I been nice and found this picture for you
Merry Christmas from the Tuttle family :)

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)

So after a long long LONG day at work I just needed a good laugh. National Lampoon usually does the job so of cause I went for Christmas Vacation.

It's time for Christmas vacation at the Griswold family. Due to previous vacation going well not as planed (for reference we're talking about Vacation (1983) and European Vacation (1985)) the Griswold decides to have a Christmas at Home. What could possibly go wrong... well just EVERYTHING!

So guess what National Lampoon lived up to the expectations... Barely had the movie begun and I was laughing... hard. Just what I needed. Sorry apparently I ain't all that creative when i'm tired. Anyway this is a great movie.. it's funny and full of Christmas joy. And yes I'm gonna watch this one again.. Probably not this year given the Advent Calender but next year oh yeah it's on.

Tune back in again tomorrow.. until then keep the Christmas spirit up :)
