The Hoover family could probably use real therapy. Although it can be heavy dealing with a suicidal gay uncle or junky for a grandfather, this can only mean great things for your self-esteem. The fact that they're crazy enough to drive 800-miles in a beater VW bus for a seven-year old is more proof that you can be as insane as you want, and you'd still be fighting for attention. Cross your fingers for a holiday road trip.

There is only one overwhelming reason to want to spend time with the Burnham family: Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey). What could be better than getting lit in the garage with a pothead going through a mid-life crisis? You can pump iron, talk about the good old days, and forget about all of the stupidity of your life. And his dealer lives next door. How many of us have wished for that kind of connection? Just don?t forget to bail if you see the neighbor.

Oh, the Parkers. What a classic Christmas family they've become. From little Randy (Ian Petrella), who literally eats like a pig, to papa Parker?s (Darren McGavin) prized leg lamp, a night with the Parkers would be like a bizarre circus. The best part, however, would be to watch little Ralphie Parker (Peter Billingsley) and his shenanigans. If we were there, we'd be loading up BB guns to give all of the kids in the neighborhood.

The fun thing about vagabonds is that they're pretty easy-going. The Abromowitz family is a fun, quirky bunch of smart asses. There is nothing that makes a holiday more bearable than spending a whole night just talking trash and insulting each other. After all, why else see your family, if not to unleash some repressed angst? And, what is better than witnessing a real-life train wreck, Rita (Marisa Tomei)? All in all, this would be a fun family to kick back a few brews with.

Talk about a dysfunctional family to love. Bernie and Roz Focker (Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand) are the type of people that we'd love to spend any holiday with. We could talk loud, have cocktails with umbrellas, and embarrass each other with sex talk at the dinner table. An added bonus would be finding different ways to prank Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro). Taped-up toilet seats anyone? Of course, we would demand to wind down the holiday with a little sex therapy and Capoeira. And if you get bored, you can always spend your time making fun of Gaylord's name.

Clark Griswald (Chevy Chase) is our favorite Christmas dad. The absolute insanity and incompetence of this man has endured through years of wanna-be Christmas characters. It's hard to choose which would be the highlight of the holiday season: the 25,000 blaring light bulbs, a burning Christmas tree, or an electrocuted cat? We would demand them all. I think we?ll all agree that our dads have a little Clark Griswald in them and that?s why we love him. And in the end, the love and devotion that the family still feels for each other warms our hearts, year after year.

The Bluths are insane in the most fun possible way. Imagine hanging out with the entire Bluth family under one roof. We could be entertained with G.O.B.'s (Will Arnett) stupid magic tricks. We could encourage George Michael's (Michael Cera) incestuous inner struggle. Then there is Tobias Funke (David Cross). Between his "never-nude" condition and his self-appointed title of Analrapist, there's plenty of fun to be had on his behalf. Then there are the endless pranks to be had with Buster's (Tony Hale) hook hand. We could just sit back and kick up our feet and try to watch Michael Bluth (Jason Bateman) reign in the crazies. There are endless reasons why the Bluths would be the best family to spend the holidays with. And, we could wrap up the season by hatching a plan to break Poppop (Jeffrey Tambor) out of prison. I smell New Year's in Folsom!
