| Looks like fun, I'm in! A Christmas Story of the must-see movies in my Christmas movie rotation for sure. So I guess this looks like it's set in the mid-1970's? The original was set around 1945-1950 IIRC Is that the original mother? Does not look like her.

The original mother was played by Melinda Dillon who is well into her 80’s. The mom in this one is played by Julie Hagerty from Airplane fame. |

| ^^^^ Shepherd's style was distinct and shouldn't be hard to emulate by sharp writers. With the other pieces established and in place, could be pretty seamless.
