Apr 12, 2025
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — "Are you serious Clark?" Tina Middaugh grew up in the Rochester, and is asking for the community's help in promoting her family's latest project.
Most recently, Tina's husband and daughter worked together to build a LEGO tribute to "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacatio
n" and have submitted the idea to LEGO.
She says per the competition's rules, if her idea gets 10,000 votes on the LEGO website, it could become an official set!
"We are so excited about the prospect of it possibly becoming a real LEGO set!," Tina told News 8 Saturday.
"Along with Cousin Eddie, LEGO minifigures of the entire Griswold family (Clark, Ellen, Rusty, and Audrey) are ready to celebrate the holidays. “The most enduring traditions of the season are best enjoyed in the warm embrace of kith and kin," the Middaugh family said in their submission to the LEGO website.
"Our family created this model several years ago, but at that time LEGO Ideas was not accepting proposals for National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. We are so happy to discover that this was reconsidered as we would love for everyone to have the opportunity to own this ubiquitous holiday movie in LEGO form and to be able to enjoy it as much as we have during the holidays and all year round!," they added.
You can vote for the "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation — Griswold House" on the Lego Ideas website. ...read more read less
