Cousin Eddie is considered the hick relative, Clark cant stand him. I think they all owe Eddie an apology.

He has class & manners in this movie. He tells Clark "Just glad to be here" after Clark asks him if he can get him anything or "drive him out to the middle of nowwhere...."

Eddie is the only one at that table that stood up and put his hand over his heart during The Pledge.

He is so nice in every scene! I love him! Doesnt even intrude - stays in the driveway in his RV.

A true class act.

He even offers to re-purpose the ruined sofa. So he's frugal, too! What a guy

Right?!

I guess the only negatives would be he didnt have Christmas gifts for his own kids - but thats a money thing and at Walmart he keeps loading the cart with dog food knowing Clark is paying.

Emptying his crapper in the gutter of a residential neighborhood? Not so classy.

Showing up without notice? Not so classy.

"Let's go find your sister." Not classy and very creepy.

Kidnapping a guy? Not so classy.

But like Clark said, Eddie's heart is bigger than his brain.

Hahahaha yes that was really funny.

I just saw it First Christmas Day, we (my parents and my sister and her daughter, and my self) and we loved it, we see it every Christmas.

And we are laughing out loud every time we see it, and we have seen it more then 20 times already, one of the best Christmas movies ever made.
