Funny Christmas Quotes From National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas.

This movie chronicle’s the efforts of Clark Griswald (played by comedian Chevy Chase) to ensure that his family has a memorable Christmas, in the midst of mishaps and the unexpected arrival of his cousin Randy and his family.

This particular quote from the movie is included in a lot of lists of “funny Christmas quotes” and while on its own, it is pretty chuckle-worthy, it's actually part of a longer monologue that showcases Chevy Chase in his “classic” best. 

The whole monologue isn’t very “family-friendly”, Chase drops in some English expressions that are considered mild swear words, which are probably why a lot of Christmas quotes lists stop here, but if you are curious about how the whole quote goes, here it is.

Where do you think you're going? Nobody's leaving. Nobody's walking out on this fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. No, no. We're all in this together. This is a full-blown, four-alarm holiday emergency here. We're gonna press on, and we're gonna have the hap, hap, happiest Christmas since Bing Crosby tap-danced with Danny fucking Kaye. And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes this side of the nuthouse.

Here are a few other funny quotes from the movie. As you can see, many of them border on “not family-friendly”, but if you are okay with some toilet humor and mildly offensive language, you will find plenty to laugh about in this film. 

1. Oh, the silent majesty of a winter's morn... the clean, cool chill of the holiday air... an asshole in his bathrobe, emptying a chemical toilet into my sewer...

2. Bethany: Is your house on fire, Clark?

Clark: No, Aunt Bethany, those are the Christmas lights.

3. Clark: [Revealing his Christmas "bonus"] It's a one-year membership to the Jelly of the Month Club.

Eddie: Clark, that's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year.

4. Clark: We're kicking off our fun old fashion family Christmas by heading out into the country in the old front-wheel drive sleigh to embrace the frosty majesty of the winter landscape and select that most important of Christmas symbols.

Audrey: We're not coming all the way out here just to get one of those stupid ties with Santa Clauses on it are we?

Clark: No, I have one of those at home.

5. Clark: Our holidays were always such a mess.

Clark Sr.: Oh, yeah.

Clark: How'd you get through it?

Clark Sr.: I had a lot of help from Jack Daniels.

6. Clark: Christmas is about resolving differences, and seeing through the petty problems of family life.

Ellen: Yeah, and it's about my mother accusing your mother of buying cheap hot dogs, and your mother accusing my mother of waxing her upper lip, and then they don't speak to each other...

Clark: Your mother waxes her upper lip?

Ellen: She has for years.

Clark: Doesn't show.
