Burning bright. "Give Saint Nick "The warmest welcome That he's ever had "We're so glad it's Christmas vacation. "And when the nights "Are peaceful and serene "We can cuddle up And do our Christmas dreamin'. "Peace and joy and love "Are everywhere "You can feel the magic in the air. "Let the spirit of the season Carry us away "Hip, hip, hooray For Christmas vacation." That was beautiful, honey. Take it, Russ. Dad, can you explain again what we're doing? We're kicking off our fun, old-fashioned family Christmas... ...by heading out to the country in the front-wheel drive sleigh... ...to embrace the frosty majesty of the winter landscape... ...and select that most important of Christmas symbols. We're not driving way out here so you can get one of those stupid ties... ...with the Santa Clauses on it, are we, Dad? No, I have one of those at home. What we're looking for today is the Griswold family Christmas tree. - What's the matter? - Some jackass is riding my tail. Slow down and let him pass. Don't provoke them. Hey, kids. Look, a deer! Clark! Slow down! You want to ride behind somebody like that? I'm going to pull around them... burn some dust, here. Eat my rubber. Dad, I think what you mean is, "Burn rubber" and "Eat my dust." Whatever, Russ. Eat my road grit, liver lips! That's enough of that. Speaking of Christmas trees, can one of you tell me... ...what the first kind of tree displayed at the White House was? They're back. Stop it! I don't want to spend the holidays dead. Honey, please. I'll do the driving, okay? Will you just take it easy? I'm in complete control. I'll get around this egg timer. Uh... Dad?! We're all right! Thank God! Clark, we're stuck under a truck! Do you honestly think I don't know that?! Come on, you guys. Don't fight. For Christ's sake, I didn't do this on purpose. Our Father, who art in heaven... ...hallowed be Thy name. And forgive my husband. - He knows not what he does. - Amen! We made pretty good time. Dad, didn't they invent Christmas tree lots... ...so people don't have to drive way out to nowhere and waste a Saturday? They invented 'em... ...because people forgot how to have a fun, old-fashioned family Christmas. They're satisfied with scrawny, dead, overpriced trees with no special meaning. My toes are numb. This is what our forefathers did. I can't feel my leg. They walked out into the woods, picked out that special tree... ...and they cut it down with their bare hands. Mom, I can't feel my hips. - Clark? - Yes, honey? Audrey's frozen from the waist down. That's all part of the experience, honey. There it is. The Griswold family Christmas tree. Isn't it a little big? It's not big, it's just full. That thing wouldn't fit in our yard. It's not going in our yard, Russ. It's going in our living room. - Look at it. - It really is beautiful, Clark. - It's something else, huh, Russ? - Yeah, Dad. Isn't it a beaut, Audrey? She'll see it later, honey. Her eyes are frozen. The most enduring traditions of the season are best enjoyed in... ...the warm embrace of kith and kin. This tree is a symbol of the spirit of the Griswold family Christmas. Did you bring a saw? Looks like the toad overestimated the height of his ceiling. Hey, Griswold! Where will you put a tree that big? Bend over and I'll show you. You got a lot of nerve talking to me like that. I wasn't talking to you. Do you think there's enough room for the angel? Sure, honey. I have a little more trimming to do, but that won't be a problem. Ready? I give you the Griswold family Christmas tree. There's a lot of sap in here. It looks great. A little full. A lot of sap. Did I tell you I talked to my mother today? They've decided they're coming for Christmas, too. It's not too late to change our plans... No, no, that's great. I think you're forgetting how difficult it's gonna be... ...having everybody in the house ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Белое солнце пустыни на английском - текст Ночь и день на английском - текст Фарго на английском - текст История о плавучей траве на английском - текст Лиля навсегда на английском |
