Okay, what the fuck

Could coin flip this, but I'm gonna go with Christmas Vacation. Toughie choice!

 

[Chris]

Yeah this was crazy hard of a choice for me ended up going Home Alone though

 

[Lady Redfield]

Two great movies, going with Vacation. Happy with whoever wins this one, anyway.

 

[Moon Bird]

I think I should actually watch Christmas Vacation since I've never seen it before casting my vote...

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Alone at Home

 

[Wangman Page]

I will go any Christmas movie over Home Alone and Lampoons is such a great Christmas movie to begin with. Let alone Cousin Eddie helps with this.

You can't go wrong with Cousin Eddie

Home Alone for me but it's damn close.

 

[Keith]

This is a nice match because I can see how Vacation might have had a big infleunce on Home Alone. Home Alone for me.
