    Slightly loose use of the word "classic" here.

    You mean it's not right up there with It's a Winderful Life and Christmas in Connecticut?

    Agree, Sandy. More like a "newer classic" I suppose, but it was the only movie that fit the clues.

  5. Well, It's almost 30 years old and yeah, a LOT of people watch it at Christmas. I can buy "classic" for it.

    It was described in the blind as a Christmas classic, which it is.

    IMBD does not list Columbus as the director, the trivia portion says he left filming some establishing shots, and left after two meetings with Chase.

    Not thinking "Christmas Vacation" is a classic. Ya'll are more tired then your constant bickering.

  14. I really want to be happy for you, but tennis is even more boring than golf. And there's not much that's more boring than golf.
