Original story by Howells

"Christmas Every Day" is a short story by William Dean Howells about a young American girl, whose wish that Christmas would come daily is granted for an entire year. It was published in Christmas Every Day and Other Stories Told for Children in 1892.

Plot

The film is set in the fictional town of Greenwood Falls, Virginia (just outside Washington, D.C.) and stars Erik von Detten as Billy Jackson, a selfish teenager forced to relive the same Christmas every day.[1][3] Billy's younger sister Sarah (Yvonne Zima) wishes that it was Christmas every day, and thereafter he has to keep repeating Christmas Day until he realizes the true meaning of the holiday season.[4][5]

The film also stars Robert Hays and Bess Armstrong as Billy's parents.[1][5][6]

Billy finds the entire experience to be a nightmare. Each December 25, he must face the school bully (Tyler Mason Buckalew) and must also get involved in his grocer father's dispute with his fat-cat uncle (Robert Curtis Brown) who wants to build a mega-store and ruin the local merchants.[5]
