"Christmas Vacation", eh? Never seen it, but love this song, and have been listening it since I was a young kid over 40 years ago.
Just a suggestion re your chords. The line "Here we know that Christmas will be clean and bright"
You've got the whole thing with a C chord (into a C7).
Try (E) Here we know that Xmas will be (Am) green & bright.
Then in the next line, you've got an A7 over the "stars" word (in "...stars by night". Just try swapping that A7 for an A minor and you'll hear the difference. It also essentially repeats the last line, although then ends up visiting the fifth (dominant). This is, of course, a definite invitation to resolve back to the tonic (1st), which, of course, this little ditty does. It's not THAT complex :-)
