'Christmas Do-Over' is based on the book 'Christmas Everyday' from 1892!

I think its really irritating that people seem to think that this is a rip-off "Groundhog Day" and miss that this story is based on the old classic Christmas story "Christmas Everyday", the same story that "Groundhog Day" was based on.
The book "Christmas Everyday", by William Dean Howells from 1892, came looong before "Groundhog Day" but the popularity of "Groundhog Day" makes people think that all storys about a repeating day is ripping off "Groundhog Day".

Hmmmm, I figured that both stories (and all like them [repeat days]) had to be based off an older story. Thanks for the information!
