Slightly loose use of the word "classic" here.

You mean it's not right up there with It's a Winderful Life and Christmas in Connecticut?

LauraOK said...

Agree, Sandy. More like a "newer classic" I suppose, but it was the only movie that fit the clues.

OKay said...

Well, It's almost 30 years old and yeah, a LOT of people watch it at Christmas. I can buy "classic" for it.

A tad lower.... :(

It was described in the blind as a Christmas classic, which it is.

Honest to god I just thought, "So, Jimmy Stewart wasn't the nice guy everyone thought he was."

IMBD does not list Columbus as the director, the trivia portion says he left filming some establishing shots, and left after two meetings with Chase.

Not thinking "Christmas Vacation" is a classic. Ya'll are more tired then your constant bickering.

It ain't no classic in my trailer -- I REFUSE to watch anything with Chevy Chase!!!!

I really want to be happy for you, but tennis is even more boring than golf. And there's not much that's more boring than golf.
