Wake Up With the Attic Scene from ‘Christmas Vacation’

A genuine moment of tenderness and warmth in the middle of a classic comedy. Poignant. Nostalgic. A chance for Clark Griswold to stop and reflect on why he loves Christmas and his family in the midst of them wreaking havoc on his holiday plans. With Ray Charles’ all time under-appreciated Christmas songs. And a punchline of physical comedy that’s better than anything in the “Home Alone” movies.

Have a Merry Christmas, everyone.
