## Resource

Email us your Clark Griswold Christmas mishap stories - The90sRewindReport@gmail.com We’re back to finish what Clark Griswold started. In Part 2 of our National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation rewatch, Michael and Nate return with special guest Cameron to wrap up the holiday havoc and emotional payoff that make this movie a Christmas staple. From bonus checks gone very wrong to SWAT teams, kidnappings, and one extremely unhinged Christmas Eve, we dig into the second half of the film’s biggest moments, most-quoted lines, and why Christmas Vacation somehow gets funnier every single year. If Part 1 was all about the buildup, Part 2 is where everything explodes — literally. So plug in those lights, say a little prayer for Aunt Bethany, and join us as we close out our Griswold holiday rewatch.
