Having a Randy Quaid type of holiday season . . .

Inexplicably, for the second time in less than a week, yours truly has found himself settled into the comfortably overstuffed sectional watching an old movie featuring Randy Quaid in a stereotypically redneck role

This time around it was National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

I have to admit that Aunt Bethany has always been my particular favorite in this latest film, much moreso than the loser brother-in-law Eddie.

Nonetheless, the Quaid coincidence has got me wondering if he might be the key to both flicks' ability to stand the test of time?!?

Pass the eggnog!
