Will The Griswolds Be Spotted In Central Minnesota Again This Winter?

While I love the movie National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, my wife's family takes it to a whole other level! They have the t-shirts, the mugs, they quote the movie all holiday season and, yes, they even recreate the blessing scene at every Christmas meal... complete with the Pledge of Allegiance!

According to at least one website, Christmas Vacation is the state of Minnesota's favorite Christmas movie. It makes sense with its Midwest setting and the relatability of Clark Griswold's struggle to give his family the snowy holiday he has always dreamed of while placating the extended family staying at their house for the long holiday week.

Last winter, the Griswold family made a pit stop at Waite Park's Burger Time restaurant.

Clearly, the Griswolds had just returned from the woods where they chopped down pulled down their family tree from the roots!

The video was posted by Burger Time on Facebook and the responses have been pretty funny!

Adam:

I saw this today. I was like "did I really just see that" I was working or I would have followed to get pics.

Andy:

Hopefully Audrys eyes have thawed now

Jody:

What in the name of Clark Griswold is going on here......

Tasha mentioned that she had seen this vehicle in the parking lot of ROCORI High School in Cold Spring as well!

Tasha:

When it comes to Christmas characters that you want to see in town, the Griswolds sure beat the heck out of The Grinch! Have you seen the family around town?
