Christmas Vacation stars Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Johnny Galecki, Juliette Lewis,
and Randy Quaid. In this movie, the Griswold family - Clark (Chase), Ellen (D'Angelo), and kids,
Russ (Galecki) and Audrey (Lewis) - the characters also appeared in
Vacation and
European Vacation - are celbrating Christmas
at their home, with both Clark and Ellen's parents, and other relatives on both sides of the
family. However, as usual for Clark, things go hilariously wrong for Clark, as he tries so hard
to have the best Christmas ever. For instance, he uses way too much lighting for decoration on
his house, which is a tremendous drain on the city's power grid. Other things that happen are
Clark accidentally locking himself in the attic, giving a cat a fatal electric shock, one of
his relatives burning his Christmas tree, and finding a squirrel in a Christmas tree that
replaced his burnt tree. Also livening things up is an unexpected visit from Ellen's cousin
Eddie (Quaid), who also appeared in Vacation.
Eddie also has brought his wife, son, daughter, dog, and new home with him - times have been
tough for Eddie and he had to sell his old house and move into an RV.
