His mother expects John Boy to help her raise his sisters and brothers, and his father expects him to follow in his footsteps to help support the family but secretly, John Boy wants to be a writer. Times are hard enough in 1933, but to make matters worse, it looked to be the Waltons’ first Christmas without John Sr. When Olivia receives a letter that John Sr. is planning to make it home for Christmas after all, the family is thrilled and races to prepare for his homecoming. But when a storm threatens his arrival on Christmas Eve and John Sr. is nowhere to be found, Olivia sends John Boy out into the night to find his daddy – a journey that will change John Boy’s life forever.

 

My Thoughts

The Waltons’ Homecoming is a holiday special featuring one of American's favorite families. Set during the Depression Era, this story is told through the eyes of John Boy. His parents want him to buckle down and help support his younger siblings, but he was  bigger dreams. He wants to write novels. He puts his dreams on hold and waits for his father to come home for Christmas. But shortly before he supposed to arrive, John Sr. disappears. John goes out in the dead of the winter on Christmas Eve to find his father.

This is a great show filled with touching families moments and historical accuracy. Its the perfect family film for the holiday season. If you want to grab a copy of this fantastic holiday film for yourself, you can find it online at Amazon or on stores nationwide.
