I saw some lights in a hardware store today advertised as "Christmas Vacation" lights. Had a picture of the house on the box and the Clark line about his dad teaching him about exterior illumination. Couldn't help but laugh.
shareThat's awesome. I love when a movie inspires products like that. Reminds me of how you can now find a "leg lamp" from Christmas Story. I'm tempted to buy one, though it would lead to a similar husband vs. wife battle during the season...
shareI have to order the lights and some of the other related CV items, especially the Cousin Eddie emptying the s**tter into the storm sewer ceramic scene!!

I didn't know they made these items. Funny!
shareI've noticed that they also have a new type of Christmas decoration out there - a lamp which shines an image of lights onto the house. Clark sure could have used something like that.
