You Can Buy Cousin Eddie's Dickie

Did you know that National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation has a website that is still active today? On this website, you can shop for merchandize related to the movies. If you want the dickie that Cousin Eddie wears underneath his sweater, you can buy it there.

The store has many other merchandise pieces that are still for sale, including ornaments, Funko Pops, home decor, and action figures. Even today, Christmas Vacation remains so popular that these products get refreshed every Christmas for fans. How exciting is that?

Aunt Bethany Was Once Betty Boop

Aunt Bethany was played by actress Mae Questel. You might recognize her as the voice of Betty Boop in the 1930s. Before that, she was a singer and actress. In fact, Christmas Story was the last ever film role she took.

Questel appeared in many movies, TV shows, and Broadway plays throughout the 20th century. She worked in Hollywood for over 60 years until she passed away in 1998. She stopped acting about 30 years before that, with Christmas Story being her final movie role (although she did take TV roles afterward).
