It's 'classic' Christmas

On NBC on Dec. 19 at 9 p.m., Chevy Chase will fill the airwaves with his impeccable comic timing and love for his family in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation." Not only is this movie hysterical, but most everyone can relate to a dysfunctional-yet-loveable family.

Another movie that oozes with Christmas charm is "A Christmas Story," which tells the story of Ralphie, a nine year-old trying to convince his parents, teachers, and Santa that a Red Ryder BB gun is an ideal Christmas gift.

"You'll shoot your eye out" is one of the most memorable lines in the whole movie, and who can forget the Chinese restaurant chorus singing, "Deck the harrs with bourghs of horry, fa ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra!" Starting at 8 p.m. on Christmas Eve there will be 24 hours of "A Christmas Story" on TBS.

The list of classic Christmas movies continues including "Miracle on 34th Street," "Rudolph," "Frosty the Snowman," "A Christmas Carol," and "It's a Wonderful Life." With these memorable movies, we cannot only take away a few laughs, but the true meaning of Christmas.
