Q&A: I’m Looking for the Title of A Movie?

Question by dupreecutie: I’m Looking for the Title of A Movie?
It’s an older movie, probably dated in the early 90s. There was a mom who had many children. They all lived in a shack with her, that they were making repairs and home improvements on. For Christmas, she tried to consult the local church for charity presents for her kids, but the church was out of gifts. She instead, purchased tools and gave those to her children for Xmas explaining that they were the purpose of making the home better. They had looks of horror and disgust with opening the presents. This is the only bit of the movie I remember. I do know the mom was a pretty tough cookie, brunette hair, a bit on the heavy side. she had a son who was a teenager with typical teenage problems, and I think I remember one of the younger kids being hurt from repairing some of the ceiling. The shack was huge, and they used fabric as room dividers. The winter setting was very cold and dreary, maybe some snow. Thanks if any of you have any clues
