Christmas Vacation is a Kalamazoo Holiday Tradition

Spend Christmas with the Griswolds at Kalamazoo State Theatre- it's the annual showing of "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation."

"Yule crack up." That's the tagline for "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" and even after 30 years, it's still funny. The 1989 film will be shown at Kalamazoo State Theatre again this holiday season for the 5th year in a row.

Spend a "fun old-fashioned family Christmas" with the Griswolds as Clark drives Ellen, Audrey and Rusty to the tree farm to bring home the big one (and a squirrel). Clark tangles with his miserly boss about a bonus, blouses browses the stores for the perfect gifts and strives to make his house the most festive on the block. Cousin Eddie and the whole family are there to add to the holiday cheer.
