It's Christmastime, and the Griswolds are preparing for a family seasonal celebration. But things never run smoothly for Clark, his wife Ellen, and their two kids. Clark's continual bad luck is worsened by his obnoxious family guests, but he manages to keep going, knowing that his Christmas bonus is due soon.

A frantic patriarch battles malfunctioning decorations and uninvited relatives to achieve the perfect holiday miracle. This chaotic comedy captures the specific, sweaty desperation of trying to maintain family dignity amidst total domestic collapse.
