nothing says a gaudy Christmas display like what they do to the house in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation"

If the baggers really cared about fighting the war on Christmas they would have all of displays banned.....except modestly lighted manger scenes of course.

Tacky? No, I say festive! Ever since I was little I have loved driving around looking at the decorated houses at Christmas, and I loved taking my kids when they were little. Try looking at a them through the eyes of a toddler, and you will be young again, just for a minute.

None of these hold a candle to the Griswold family Christmas lighting display in Christmas Vacation. That is what I would call classic Christmas decorating.

There is a difference between excess and tacky--going overboard doesn't automatically make it tacky (but it helps).
