:07:01
They're satisfied with scrawny, dead,
overpriced trees with no special meaning.
:07:05
My toes are numb.
:07:06
This is what our forefathers did.
:07:09
I can't feel my leg.
:07:11
They walked out into the woods,
picked out that special tree...
:07:13
...and they cut it down
with their bare hands.
:07:14
Mom, I can't feel my hips.
:07:17
- Clark?
- Yes, honey?
:07:18
Audrey's frozen from the waist down.
:07:20
That's all part of the experience, honey.
:07:24
There it is.
:07:44
The Griswold family Christmas tree.
:07:52
Isn't it a little big?
:07:54
It's not big, it's just full.
:07:57
That thing wouldn't fit in our yard.
:08:00
It's not going in our yard, Russ.
It's going in our living room.
:08:08
- Look at it.
- It really is beautiful, Clark.
:08:11
- It's something else, huh, Russ?
- Yeah, Dad.
:08:14
Isn't it a beaut, Audrey?
:08:15
She'll see it later, honey.
:08:17
Her eyes are frozen.
:08:19
The most enduring traditions
of the season are best enjoyed in...
:08:22
...the warm embrace of kith and kin.
:08:26
This tree is a symbol of the spirit
of the Griswold family Christmas.
:08:32
Did you bring a saw?
