The Homecoming: A Christmas Story (1971 TV Movie) 7/7

It is 1933, during the Depression, and being Christmas Eve, the Walton family are in the midst of their Christmas preparations and hoping to celebrate it together. The problem is that there are many events which seem to prevent John Walton (Daddy) from arriving home to share this Christmas with his family.

@Garyv1233 I can relate to her. I had a massive stroke @ the age of 3 and I was in 2 week coma and I am paralyzed on my right side. Mine happened 19 years ago.

that is what love is all about. I am 55 yrs old and I still cry when he walked through the door. I wish we could live those days again. there is nothing wrong with living with your parents and grandparents. they can teach you more than you can know.

The actors in this were good, but the actors in the TV show were much better, I think.

I wish they still made shows like this, ones I can sit down and watch with my children and grandchildren. My grandbaby looks alot like Elizabeth in this film. It was a real joy, thank you for sharing!!! Brought back many good memories...

So basically the father beat up and then stole presents from Santa to give to his children. Nice parenting. LOL. - p.s. Don't have more children than you can comfortably raise. It's silly.

"Christmas is a season when we give tokkens of love...in that house we received not tokkens but love it's self". My favorite line. Now, pass the Kleenex box please.
