The Griswold, scratch that, the Erickson Family Christmas Tree


Just in time for the annual Christmas Vacation Party, the Ericksons did a little Christmas Vacation reenacting of our own. For the first time in our lives we cut down the Erickson family  Christmas Tree.   


So ax and hatchet in hand, we set off to chop down the Erickson Family Christmas Tree. 



Clark: 
You see kids, this is what our four fathers did.
Audrey: I can't feel my leg.
Clark: They walked out into the woods, they picked out that special tree and they cut it down with their bare hands.
Audrey: Mom, I can't feel my hips!
Ellen: Clark. 
Clark: Yes honey?
Ellen: Clark, Audrey's frozen from the waist down. 
Clark: That's all part of the experience, honey.

Rusty: Dad, didn't they invent christmas tree lots so people wouldn't have to drive all the way out to nowhere and waste a whole saturday?





Clark: The Griswold family christmas tree.
Ellen: Isn't it a little big?
Clark: It's not big. It's just full.

That's Christmas elation you see right there!


Rusty: Dad, this tree won't fit in our back yard.
Clark: It's not going in the yard, Russ. It's going in the living room.
