Home Alone Actually Happened This Year To Six-Year-Old

Of course, both the starting location and intended destination for this poor kid were different from what we saw in Home Alone. In that first film, young Macaulay Culkin’s character lives in Chicago and his family flies to Paris. In real life, this child lives in Philadelphia, and he was supposed to visit his grandmother in Florida.

Amusingly, this whole affair is a bit closer to the plot of Home Alone 2. In that film, the family is planning a Christmas vacation to Miami, but Culkin’s character accidentally boards the wrong flight, ending up lost in New York (hence, the subtitle for the film).
