"The Homecoming A Christmas Story" is a classic family Christmas movie that everyone should see. This is the first time we see the Walton family. They were known as the Spencers in a previous movie, but this is the first time we see them portrayed by the same actors (except for the John & Olivia) who were in the long-running TV series. Olivia and the children wait for John to come home from work. After he doesn't arrive, John-Boy goes searching for him.
