The Christmas Vacation House & Cousin Eddie's RV - Griswold Family Christmas Recreation and Lights

0:04 downtown Los Angeles on a quest on a

0:04 mission on the hunt for an item that's a

0:07 little more difficult to find then I

0:09 thought it would be it was accomplished

0:13 however check this out the National

0:17 Lampoon's Christmas vacation

0:25 inflatable the Griswolds family

0:25 truckster equipped

0:28 with the Christmas tree on top I will

0:32 not be opening this this is not mine I

0:35 picked it up for someone else but I

0:39 wanted to show it simply because this is

0:41 a Segway for what I will be doing a

0:45 little bit later when nightfall rears

0:49 its head

0:51 welcome everyone Adam Wu here lots of

0:56 destinations on the agenda throughout

0:59 the course of the day but when dusk

1:02 starts to formulate something that Clark

1:05 Griswald would be most proud of will be

1:10 happening from now till then feel free

1:12 to tag along join me

1:15 Shelley not quite finished spelling out

1:18 season's greetings still a few more

1:22 letters there before the signs complete

1:24 also looks as if Santa's old sleigh he's

1:28 not using anymore is now piece of yard

1:31 decor down there in the garden stop I

1:34 wanted to point out a coincidence I'm on

1:37 my way to Oxnard California about 45

1:39 miles from this point but this is Oxnard

1:42 Street in a totally different town home

1:46 to Candy Cane Lane dancing around the

1:52 cactus there's the big guy on a horse

1:56 check this one out it's trying to push

2:00 that mule from its back side one of

2:03 Frosty's family members here wishing us

2:06 awesome season's greetings this very

2:09 small manger scene kind of reminds me of

2:11 the precious moments characters they're

2:14 not but very reminiscent we got Mickey

2:17 Mouse got a few of the hundred and one

2:20 Dalmatians and tucked away over there in

2:22 the corner

2:23 we got Woody and Buzz Lightyear the

2:26 aliens a group of heroes here including

2:29 Hulk Captain America spider-man NYPD and

2:33 fire departments I'm now understanding

2:36 why it's designated

2:39 Candy Cane Lane there's a bunch of them

2:45 quite a few mr. squirrel he's got a list

2:49 he's dropping it there he's got some

2:51 items that he really wants delivered all

2:54 right but that but that postcard in

2:58 there Hansel and Gretel making their way

3:00 into the gingerbread house they even

3:03 have a little pathway lined up so they

3:05 don't get lost dun dun da da da dun dun

3:08 dun would you believe that the Polar

3:14 Express is camped out here in this

3:18 Woodland Hills area I wouldn't have I

3:22 hadn't seen it with my own eyes not

3:24 something you'd normally see in the

3:27 driveway of a home candles lining this

3:31 section of the street one thing I've

3:33 noticed is everyone's really friendly

3:35 around here look at him he's waving at

3:39 me

3:39 whoa up on the roof the elusive

3:42 fist-bump Kringle it's the whole peanuts

3:45 crew

3:46 there's Snoopy's doghouse and woodstock

3:50 taking a little swing from that branch

3:52 they are on the far left on the freeway

3:55 now heading to Oxnard about 40

4:00 forty miles from here

4:09 and right next to the thoroughfare

4:09 something you would not expect to see

4:24 Santa Claus is gargantuan behind that

4:24 fan

4:25 the lettering on the lock gate says SC

4:29 his initials are planted right there on

4:32 the wrought-iron the plaque down below

4:35 states he was designed by Kenneth Vaughn

4:38 in 1950 this is not his original

4:41 location he was moved here a few years

4:45 ago now he's just staring at the traffic

4:48 as it goes by for one reason or another

4:51 it's not accessible they don't want

4:53 anyone in there

4:54 although the barbed wire is facing

4:57 inward maybe it's not me they want to

5:00 keep out maybe it's him they want to

5:03 want to keep in I mean I know he sees

5:06 you when you're sleeping and he knows

5:08 when you're awake but keep them all

5:11 cooped up might be a little little too

5:14 much hope he gets out of here by

5:16 Christmas Eve

5:19 dig a tunnel outlet Andy Dufresne

5:21 traffic on the fence are reindeer but

5:25 you'll notice none of their noses are

5:28 red except for

5:31 this one

5:34 there is Rudolph right there

5:51 definitely a little bit of a hike from

5:53 Los Angeles but well worth it this is

5:57 something you don't see every day on

5:58 this scale don't see this every day

6:07 made the trek back to Los Angeles

6:07 still got about 30 miles or so to the

6:11 final destination I have arrived at the

6:14 cross streets of gold and Mercato you

6:19 can see some lights here on the homes

6:22 throughout the neighborhood lining the

6:26 roofs and there's a few pieces of yard

6:31 decor but as I turn this direction I

6:37 have a feeling that everything is going

6:40 to change to the nth degree if you've

6:45 ever seen the film

6:46 National Lampoon's Christmas vacation

6:49 this is about as good of a recreation as

6:55 it gets holy cow this is real life this

6:59 actually exists even though there's some

7:02 toxic waste being dumped into the sewer

7:05 nonetheless it is still very impressive

7:08 look at the RV here the cat right there

7:12 underneath the recliner the impression

7:15 of it

7:19 Jeff Norton's stated right there on that

7:23 banner even the neighbors are accounted

7:25 for coming home from work wondering what

7:28 in the heck is going on next door the

7:33 tree placed there on top of the station

7:36 wagon and he's got his chainsaw and

7:39 equipped with his hockey mask a lot of

7:42 great Easter eggs and details placed all

7:45 on the property including the dogs nuts

7:48 and the metal tray they slid down the

7:51 bare Chicago Bears cap and not only

7:54 other lights on the house on the roof

7:56 but also in the yard itself there's

8:00 Clark with a bunch of presents whoa whoa

8:02 whoa it's snowing holy cow

8:07 I didn't think it could get any better

8:09 than this it is snowing in the yard

8:12 there are machines formulating

8:17 it's no wow

8:28 that's off and all that happened without

8:28 a drumroll joy to the world

8:38 okay it's it's stopping I don't think I

8:38 like my singing he always wanted a

8:40 swimming pool so you gotta help out with

8:42 his Christmas fun I'm Jeff Norton and

8:44 you how long you been doing this this is

8:46 our second year and the first year the

8:49 reaction was so good you're like I just

8:50 need to do it again yeah so first year I

8:53 basically just kind of did it for myself

8:55 and then I'm a big collector of the

8:58 movie and then the second year I really

9:01 went big because I think the whole world

9:03 likes this movie as much as right

9:05 yeah it's classic yeah it's good one and

9:06 there are the RV is that the same type

9:08 of RV that cousin Eddie hat yeah if

9:10 you'll notice the display pretty much

9:12 everything is pretty much exactly the

9:13 movie torus is an 89 that condors a 72

9:17 so even the chain saw is the same chain

9:19 86 Mikola

9:21 yes yeah so you just do just like

9:24 analyze frame by frame of the film image

9:26 in the rain as you can and they're just

9:28 kind of work off that brain nice how

9:30 many lights do you have up at the moment

9:32 it's about 15,000 is the approximate

9:34 like monthly payment on something like

9:36 this to run on solar after last year but

9:39 so it was about 600 for the month I

9:41 think the squirrel gets a little bit

9:42 lost he's on the mirror the Torres with

9:44 five snow machines on the roof all the

9:46 reindeer pretty year specific to that

9:48 it's the 50 stuff I got a permit the

9:50 original manufacturer I've got it set up

9:52 at 98.5 so when you pull up it's playing

9:55 off your radio so you could tune in your

9:58 car radio yeah so you can play the movie

10:00 off your radio have you gonna each year

10:02 you're gonna keep growing and growing

10:03 and adding more stuff my hopes for next

10:05 year's I'd be able to get that 1981

10:07 Dodge Polara

10:08 police car yeah and then I'd park it

10:10 right here and then have a SWAT guy

10:12 coming through my front that'll be a

10:14 base that would be amazing

10:16 yeah Wow I love it man I'm a big thing

10:19 I'm a big fan of the movie I actually

10:21 did I actually about a year ago I traced

10:23 down all the locations from Part 1 I

10:25 flew to Chicago and drove all the way

10:27 from Chicago back to LA why I hit every

10:29 single spot I did the biggest thing for

10:31 me to keep me going is just the amount

10:32 of pee

10:33 pull it that liked to watch this see

10:36 this and how many people how many people

10:38 you expect me to come by this year it's

10:39 incredible I would say last night we

10:41 probably had 500 standing here and I

10:44 would probably say you'd be closing on

10:46 maybe 10,000 people I believe it now

10:48 there's a lot of people i if you saw the

10:50 stuff I've seen already this year's been

10:52 unreal the guy

10:53 Friday night lays the blanket out for

10:55 his girlfriend they've got the hot

10:57 chocolate sitting upon watching the

10:59 movie yeah I would have never thought

11:00 that day would come but it's it's a lot

11:02 of fun man it everybody connects from

11:05 this book I was on K Rock and that there

11:07 that was their argument last year what

11:09 is the best Christmas movement it came

11:10 down to this and the elf were the two

11:13 best and what happened was this I always
