Johnny was enjoying a glass of "Christmas milk" and thought he'd make a gif

Is everyone getting excited? Is everyone all set with shopping? Do you have your Christmas goose in the freezer until tomorrow morning? Growing up Johnny often loved the three or four days leading up to Christmas so much with all their excitement and anticipation and school parties and family dropping by it built up to something the day of Christmas itself could never live up to. As an adult he's far better and pacing himself in his holiday expectations. Now it's all good. What does this have to do with egg nog and a gif? Nothing.

So, there's Johnny getting ready to close up the Jersey City Desk offices and head home for the night when he decided to have one last glass of egg nog and it brought this idea to mind. There are many great parts to National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation that make it such a great movie. One small part that makes Johnny laugh every year is Clark and Cousin Eddie enjoying egg nog in those classic Marty Moose glasses when Cousin Eddie suddenly takes an interest in some kind of wooden wheel, the type that may spin if a candle burned under it, and with one flick of a finger just destroys it and stands over the pile of wooden blades still pondering what the hell it was.
