What did you do on or to your CB 1100 today

[Gone in 60]

On the way home from the museum Saturday evening, I stopped off in La Mirada to take in the famous Griswold House. Couldn’t get my CB in the pic as the street is blocked off for this very famous annual event.

This family (or maybe just the guy… I think his family might have disowned him over his obsession with Christmas Vacation) has put an incredible amount of Christmas Vacation stuff in the front yard of their otherwise normal, single story ranch style California suburban home. Each year, they add something new to the display. 

Here’s the short list:

House painted same colors as the Griswold movie house with a false second floor added (which is not to any code, and they gladly pay the fine to the city each year)

Thousands of lights 

Year and model correct Condor Eddie motorhome

Wood paneled early Taurus wagon with uprooted tree on roof

Era-correct Chicago police car

Year-correct Dodge crew cab truck from the opening road rage scene

12 snow blowers

All of the characters from the movie

The hot girl from the department store 

Gift store 

I spotted the new addition this year, a churro stand. On the roof is Clark on the saucer sled rotating.

Definitely something worth adding to the holiday cheer list!
