    I love, love watching the Waltons Homecoming A Christmas Story. One of my favorite Childhood memories. When I was 8 years old I watched it with my mom every year that it was on. Please always show this at Christmas. When I come home from work, I always watch the Waltons every day but Friday, it shows starting at 3 PM each week day on INSP channel. Thank you.
