In 1989, Chevy Clark discovers that his boss has decided to nix Chase (“Saturday Night Live”) reprised his role as their traditional Christmas bonuses.

Quaid’s performance as the down-on-his-luck, uncouth Eddie was so popular that he was cast in the TV spin-off film “National Lampoon’s Christ- mas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie’s Island Adventure.” In the original, though, he arrives with his wife, Catherine (Miriam Flynn, “Grounded for Life”), kids Ruby Sue (Ellen Latzen, “The Equalizer”) and Rocky (Cody Burger, “Heavyweights,” 1995), and their Rottweiler, Snots. “Seinfeld” and “VEEP” fans will recognize Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Clark’s neighbor Margo, who despises the Griswolds, and her husband, Todd, is played by Nicholas Guest (“USA High”). Brian Doyle-Murray (“The Middle”) also makes an appearance as Clark’s much ma- ligned boss, Frank Shirley. Arguably the most family friendly of the “Vacation” films, “National Lampoon’s Christ- mas Vacation” has stood the test of time since its debut in 1989. It was based on Hughes’s short story “Christmas ‘59,” which was published in the December 1980 issue of National Lampoon Magazine. On December 1, 1989, the film opened in the No. 2 spot at the box office behind “Back to the Future: Part II,” and went on to bring in more than $70 million during it’s run in U.S. theaters. Though some critics initially found the movie crass, fans always get the last word.
