What timing! I was just thinking about rewatching Christmas Vacation this morning, and now I have even more reason to. It’s so fascinating to see how many scenes were inspired by Norman Rockwell paintings—I love the side-by-side comparisons. The interview with the production designer was such a great touch. Nice work!
This is the best. I grew up watching this every year with my family, but I’ve never stopped to appreciate the costumes and set design.
I still say “you serious, clark?” and “why is the carpet all wet, Todd” all the time and hope someone will know the reference.
Thank you for sharing!
That was a super fun read. Thank you so much.💕 congratulations on the vanity fair mention, so exciting!
