Two of my favorite bloggers, Skip at Alex Grant and Christine at N’East Style, have an ongoing series called “Date Night” where they highlight a classic look from a classic movie. I’ve always enjoyed reading these posts and after watching Christmas movies for this past week I was inspired to my own for one of my favorites: National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.

Be safe and stay warm while tackling all your “exterior illumination” projects or however you chose to channel your inner Clark Griswold.

Merry (belated) Christmas!
