How To Survive The Holidays Using "Christmas Vacation" Quotes

"National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation" is without a doubt my family’s most quoted movie. It has become a tradition to watch it immediately after Thanksgiving dinner to ring in the Christmas season. But no matter the time of year, "Christmas Vacation" quotes slip into conversation at any family gathering. After years of being surrounded by Clark, Cousin Eddie, and Uncle Lewis impersonators, I’m convinced that "Christmas Vacation" quotes can be used in any scenario. So if your holiday season gets a little crazy and you’re at a loss for words, or you just need a post-finals laugh, look no further!

1. "Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Kiss my ass. Kiss his ass. Kiss your ass. Happy Hanukkah."


This is frequently spouted out at family gatherings when large groups of people are coming or going.

2. "Oh, Eddie... If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am now."


Because what's Christmas without some good ole holiday surprises?

3. "Get off me, you fungus!"

This one's perfect for siblings any time of the year.

4. "Merry Christmas, shitter’s full!"

Thankfully, nothing meriting this particular quote has ever happened at a family gathering, but it still gets said plenty.

5. "Hey Gris, if you're not doing anything constructive, run into the living room and get my stogey."

This one works any time you need a favor done, but only if you master the perfect Uncle Lewis impression.

6. "Grace? She passed away 30 years ago!"

After years of testing, my family has proved that this one can be said every time you sit down for a meal and will never get old.

7. "Shittin' bricks."

"You shouldn’t use that word. "

"Sorry, shittin' rocks."

For any time a relative asks how you're feeling about your future.


8. "Take a look around here, Ellen. We're in the threshold of hell!"

This one’s a little more applicable before Christmas, namely, finals week.

9. "You know that metal plate in my head? I had to have it replaced, cause every time Catherine revved up the microwave, I'd piss my pants and forget who I was for a half hour."


I’m not entirely sure how this could apply to real life, but it’s a personal favorite.

10. "Burn some dust here. Eat my rubber. "

Perfect for when you're running late to your fun old-fashioned family Christmas gathering!

11. "And we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny f****** Kaye."

If you ever feel like your Christmas couldn't get any worse, just fake it 'til you make it. And things could be worse, at least you haven't been kidnapped by a man in a blue leisure suit.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
