New Classic Holiday Movies!
Many people are familiar with the antics of the Griswold family from National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation movie. This film is a regular holiday treat for many people and many families. It just isn’t Christmas without sitting down and watching this movie at least once. It rivals A Christmas Carol and It’s A Wonderful Life as a new holiday tradition. The movie features Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold. It is a bit of a slapstick comedy, with many funny situations involving Clark’s rivalry with the neighbors to have the brightest Christmas lights display and his relationships with his extended family members, including his hick cousin played by Randy Quaid.
One memorable scene has Clark Griswold and Cousin Eddie sharing some eggnog out of some very peculiar Moose Mugs. These are little glasses like brandy snifters, with a footed base, but they have a big moose face sticking off the front, and great big moose antlers sticking out on both sides. They are memorable to say the least. In fact, they have become a sought-after collector’s item. It used to be that only a few companies in Europe made this item, and they had to be custom-ordered. They were also quite expensive. Thankfully, some American company realized that this item was in demand, and so, 20 years after the movie was made, we now have the officially licensed Christmas Vacation Moose Mugs! They are available in plastic and in glass, and they make an excellent Christmas gift. You can find them at several places online or maybe at a local store. If you have a family member who particularly likes that movie, why not give them a set of the moose mugs? They are sure to appreciate it. They would also make a great gift for a White Elephant party of an office Christmas Party gift exchange!
