When the dad gets his award the outside of the crate says, "Fragile" but the dad reads it and says "fra gee lay, it must be Italian."
Funny, it wouldn't let me react to or quote PCB's post. Oh well, thanks for the clarification! The Simpsons used the Fragile gag once too (it may have been another show, but I'm 99% sure it was them, so that's where I know it from.

This is the quintessential American Christmas film, thus I have never seen it and most of the world hasn't either (at least, my generation).
This board has referenced it SO MUCH over the 15+ years I've been on here and I don't get any of the references lol
