Christmas story
Seasonal December narrative
A Christmas story is any tale set during or centered on the Christmas holiday, typically involving themes of generosity, redemption, or family reunion.
The phrase often refers specifically to the biblical nativity narrative—the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem.
It also names the 1983 film about a boy's quest for a Red Ryder BB gun, now a holiday television staple: They watch A Christmas Story every year.
