Storyline
On Christmas Eve 1933, the Waltons prepare for the holiday, but they are becoming increasingly worried because John Walton, who was forced to take work in another part of the state, has not yet returned home.
The Waltons are preparing for Christmas in the early 1930s. It's Christmas Eve and they are waiting for John to come home from his job in the city some 50 miles away. Since he is late, everyone is worried and over the radio Olivia, Zebb, and Esther hear about an overturned bus and hurt travelers but keep this news from the rest of the family. The story is really a coming-of-age story about John Boy who must cut down the tree with Zebb since John isn't home and is eventually told about him and sets out to find him.
