The Homecoming: A Christmas Story

I grew up watching The Waltons (not always by choice), but I had never watched the kickoff movie -- it wasn't actually offered as a pilot for the TV show. But at home for Christmas, it seemed appropriate. Ma and Pa (and Grandpa) are all different, but the kids (and Grandma) are the same as from the nine-seasons show, but they're so young; it was hard to tell who was who! Everything's tied into waiting for Pa to get home, so a pretty simple plot, but a decent Christmas watch.
