Alternate movie descriptions game..jump in.

[MikeyDSlagle]

A few years ago my Dad started having "door prizes" on Christmas Day, just a little game of sorts to change things up. This year is my household's turn and doing something. We've decided on a game where we give alternate descriptions or reworded plotlines of Christmas movies and everyone has to guess the movie. We are working on the details.

I can come up with some but would like some assistance. I was hoping some of my fellow rocketeers would be willing and able to help.

Here's an example I stole from a site, which gave me the idea:
Deformed son is humiliated and exiled, befriends a dentist, and is exploited by a fat old man.
The answer is Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer.

Christmas with the Kranks:
Adulterous daughter returns home and wrecks parents' plans of going on a cruise.

Home Alone is easy, Gremlins is easy, maybe Die Hard and Trading Places LOL
Looking for ideas for a few more. Need 10 total.
Deck the Halls
A Christmas Story
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Elf
A Christmas Carol
Christmas Vacation


Let's see what the collection mind can come up with. Should be fun too.
