A Hobo’s Christmas (1987)

On a stop in Salt Lake City, hobo Bernard Hughes decides attempts a Christmas-time reunion with the son he abandoned many years ago, played by Gerald McRaney. He quickly bonds with the grandchildren he’s never met while his son is understandably more aloof. It’s fairly standard made for television fare, hitting the mild notes of family strife while maintaining its feel good Christmas-ness. I enjoyed the portrayal of closeness in the found family hobo community and also the not often used in film Utah location.
