Something as simple as getting a tree becomes a family event.

Little full, lot of sap.

He provides comebacks to those that are not in the Christmas Spirit.

If you have wonderful neighbors, like Todd and Margo, Clark will set you for life with his witty comebacks to get those Scrooges.

He brings together both sides of the family, regardless of their peculiarities.

He welcomes all... even people like cousin Eddie.

A national treasure, every family has their own cousin Eddie.

His home is even open to God’s furry creatures.

He takes his hard-earned Christmas Bonus and spends it on his family, not just himself.

It's the gift that keeps on giving, all year long.

He enjoys your refreshing and festive cup of eggnog.

He keeps up with tradition, such as a good old fashioned turkey dinner.

It may be a little dry and you may find a heart in there, but it's still good.

He takes time to remember Christmas' past, in proper Christmas attire, of course.

Teal and pink are the perfect festive colors when you're stuck in a dingy attic.

He does all he can so the kids still believe in "Santie Claus."

He takes decorating very seriously.

And his decorating brightens up the entire neighborhood's spirit.

It also may cause a city-wide power outage, but that's what backup generators are for anyway.

Even his wife is spirited about the holidays.

He is kind and courteous to everyone, wishing them all a Merry Christmas.

He knows all the secrets of going sledding.

Bingo.

And he always finds a way to fix everything.

Investing in a chainsaw may or may not be a wise decision to make this Christmas.

So, this holiday season, if you find yourself struggling to spread joy and carry on with the Christmas spirit, look to our good old friend Clark Griswold, a true Christmas icon for us all.
