Cousin Eddy kidnapped Mr. Shirley in "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" as a misguided attempt to secure a Christmas bonus for his cousin, Clark Griswold. Eddy believed that by holding Mr. Shirley hostage, he could compel him to give Clark the bonus he desperately wanted. The situation is played for comedic effect, highlighting Eddy's obliviousness and the absurdity of the holiday chaos. Ultimately, it adds to the film's blend of family dysfunction and holiday humor.
