POLL RECAP: 2-way race for best Christmas movie
Our unofficial poll this week was on merry movies.
We asked readers for their favorite Christmas flick. We listed a dozen that show up on the annual lists and invited readers to list their own favorites in the comments.
We received 217 votes through Saturday night and it was a race between a silly, well-meaning man, Clark Griswold Jr. played by Chevy Chase, and an innocent, idealistic kid, Ralphie Parker played by Peter Billingsley.
The winner was “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” with 43 votes, followed by “A Christmas Story” with 34 votes. A close race early became less close with a flurry of late votes for the Griswold family Christmas.

If you’re like me during the Christmas season the move “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” is a holiday must-see tradition. I watch the movie over and over and I can quote lines from the movie all day long.
Chevy Chase, the star of the movie plays the goofy but lovable Clark Griswold who is determined to have the greatest Christmas ever for his entire family. Of course, nothing goes right including the memorable scene where he tries to light the Christmas lights on his house.
