"Christmas: 1933" is based on the short story "That Terrible Night Santa Got Lost in the Woods" written by Larry King and adapted by founder and Artistic Director of the American Readers Theatre Jeffrey David Stocker. The story is set at Christmas as a middle-aged man and his aged parents reflect back on the terrible Christmas Eve in 1933 when a father got lost in a blizzard with toys bought on credit so that a five-year-old boy would find the magic of the season under his Christmas tree. The holiday excitement is set against the troubling realities of the Depression in a story that stresses the hardy values of a rural family.
