The Homecoming: A Christmas Story (1971)
Het is kerstavond, begin jaren dertig, op Walton's Mountain. Terwijl het gezin zich voorbereidt op de vakantie, wachten ze vol spanning op Pa's terugkeer naar huis van zijn werk in de stad, zo'n 80 kilometer verderop. Hij is te laat en mama en de grootouders horen op de radio een melding van een busongeluk waar ze zich zorgen over maken. De oudste zoon John-Boy moet grootvader helpen een kerstboom om te hakken, en als hij hoort dat hij zich zorgen maakt over papa, gaat hij op zoek naar hem.
