It's a funny squeaky sound...

Christmas Vacation is one of the best Christmas movies out there still, and it's because of how hilariously accurate it is. The holidays rarely run smoothly for any family and the Griswold's are a perfect example of a dysfunctional family at the holidays. Here are some of their most quotable moments!

1. "We're all in misery."

Like I said, Christmas can be stressful. We all have to admit that even during the happiest time of year we can get burnt out and lose the meaning of Christmas in all of the hustle.

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

The shock of that one relative showing up that you really weren't expecting to see this holiday season really is one of the most shocking things.

3. "You serious, Clark?"

Eddie says this right after Clark tells the kids that Santa has been spotted. If you haven't said this to your friends or family in response to something completely unrelated to Christmas Vacation, you haven't watched this movie enough.

4. "Worse? How could things get any worse? Take a look around here, Ellen! We're at the threshold of hell! "

The holiday season can often get a bit intense and no one knows that better than the Griswold's.

5. "That's the gift that keeps on giving ."

Whether it's the jelly of the month club or anything else, this is one of my family's favorite quotes.

6. "My tree."

Another family favorite, the tree is rarely referred to unless it's said in the same painful, shocked, shriek that Clark says this in after his tree has been burnt to a crisp.

7. "And why is the carpet all wet, Todd?"

"I don't know, Margo!"

Tones of voices are half the humor for this movie.

8. "Lotta sap in here! Looks great! Little full, lotta sap. "

This is probably one of those you really have to see the scene played out to find it funny. But it still makes for funny references later!

9. "Where's the Tylenol?"

Because it's not Christmas unless someone's giving everyone a headache.

10. "The little lights...they aren't twinkling."

"I know, Art. Thanks for noticing."

Because there's nothing like accomplishing something and having someone immediately point out what's wrong with it.

11. "Save the neck for me, Clark!"

Because we all know an Eddie!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
