The Homecoming: A Christmas Story (1971)
"My Daddy" is the correct southern term.

It may not be correct English but is part of the southern charm that makes this movie so correct. Being raised in the north we used Mother, Father, and Mr & Mrs - not when we moved south - Mommy, Daddy, and first names were used. I mistakenly said Mr John Smith, I was corrected, "My name is John, Mr Smith is my Daddy" and that's how it was. A lot of what you see in the movie is how it is in the country parts. Big on Family Closeness, Community, and Church with a sprinkle of vices too. When I was 7 I fell in love with this movie never dreaming at the time I would move south to the Mountains and raise a family. At first a cultural shock but the southern charm set in and I miss it so!!!
