I’m probably closer to you about that movie. I consider it an inoffensive time-filler, not the laugh riot many make it out to be.

My wife likes these movies too. Me personally as a German, I lack humour anyway, and don’t understand the appeal. [emoji12]
Tossed it on last night after we got home
We generally get 10-12 viewings in over the Xmas season ...
YES, they are silly movies with sophomoric humor.
And that's what makes them so good!
Unpopular opinion time: Vacation is better than Christmas Vacation.
I can’t say I‘d proclaim one as superior to the other.And that's what makes them so good!

Watched Power of the Dog and upon reflection decided I like it. It’s slow, but I wouldn’t say boring. It’s like 2+ hours of tension, people being polite (most of the time) but having some major grievance bubbling just below the surface. I think it would fit well in the There Will Be Blood universe.
Holy hell, the score is stellar, I love how it sort of moves from the background into this kind of ominous presence in the foreground. It's was composed/produced by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead fame.

Honestly, I agree.
Vacation is the better pure comedy, it's a little more raw, it's a touch darker - it's actually rated R. Christmas Vacation leans more into the John Hughes sentimental vibe, it's got some of the same silliness for sure, but it's way more light hearted (and rated PG-13).
Funny enough, Christmas Vacation is actually the 3rd Vacation film, I even forget this, European Vacation was 2nd (which is pretty fun, has a couple of really great moments).
If you're a fan of the 1st movie, definitely watch the 2015 sequel, Vacation, with Ed Helms as a grown up Rusty (Christina Applegate as his wife, Debbie).

Watching March roll out real winter
Not a fan of the allegedly hilarious or cute Christmas movies... I have a particular aversion to Polar Express because how I even knew that film existed was when a loaned-out spare laptop (an old white polycarbonate iBook) was returned to me in January once with a DVD of said flick jammed in the optical drive.
"So sorry," the young borrower said ruefully.... "I tried everything you could imagine to get the disc out."
Ugh. That immediately became clear to the tech who eventually replaced the drive for me. "An emery board was in there too," he reported.
