The same day they showed up, the grandparents were watching the televised Christmas parade, which should only air days later, on Christmas MORNING. Even after everything, the whole movie ended on Christmas eve NIGHT. What parade were they watching?

My sister and I discussed this a few times. I thought maybe they were watching a movie that had a parade on it. Shrug just a guess

You do realize that Christmas Vacation is not based on a true story, therefore, it could be any made up parade.

You're kidding me! I would have sworn this was all hidden cameras capturing the reality of life. Thank god you were here.

Ive always thought the grandparents get there on Thanksgiving. When the door bell rings it looks like Russ is watching the Thanksgiving Day parade in New York.
