4. Chevy Chase as good old Clark W, Griswold |

I just love Christmas Vacation. Especially when Clark is locked in the attic watching old movies and crying.

played by Darren McGavin. Reminds me of my own when I was little. lol
Alistair Sim did a brilliant Scrooge. A wonderful comic actor, it was ever so subtle, and he gave the character a very full range. And Fezziwig, because I like the name.

For myself it has to to be the Ghost of Christmas Present from 'A Christmas Carol'. I liked way Edward Woodard played the role.

28. Ok, it's not my favorite, but I have a question |
|
Am I the only person on earth, besides my family, to have ever seen a show called Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas? It definitely had to be the 80s when this came out.
Bizarre the things that stick in a kid's head...

I love the Jug Band Christmas. Ain't no hole in the washtub.
I always loved that movie. I bought it for Mrs. Strangelove on VHS last year b/c I could not find it on dvd.

I prefer to be worshipped on Tuesdays after 3:00. I hope your mom gets a kick out of it. I love that film. The Jug Band was robbed though. They should have won easily.
