A symbol of the spirit of the Griswold family Christmas

I do a lot of my stitching and designing in front of the TV – it’s a lot easier to do this with cross stitch than painting peg people! When I was thinking about geeky cross stitch patterns that I could make into Christmas cards, I looked up at the TV and realised my inspiration was right in front of me!

The design fits a card blank with a 3x5” display, but can also go into a standard 5x7” picture frame. Like the Christmas Weeping Angel, I’m going to frame one in an embroidery hoop and keep it with my Christmas decorations!

This pattern is a classic Clark Griswold quote, inspired by ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation’ and Chevy Chase’s festive breakdown :) It’s a perfect  Christmas card or gift to show *certain* loved ones exactly how you feel about them.

The pattern is for sale in my Etsy shop.

"Merry Christmas! Shitter was full."
