However, things go awry quickly. His hick cousin, Eddie (Randy Quaid), and his family show up unplanned and start living in their camper on the Griswold property. Even worse, Clark’s employers renege on the holiday bonus he needs. Watch the trailer for National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation NJ STAGE - ISSUE 65 INDEX NEXT ARTICLE 58
