PERHAPS

THE GREATEST 

CHRISTMAS MOVIE

OF ALL TIME

Frank Capra's "It's A Wonderful Life",

starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed,

is a sure-fire movie to put you

in the holiday mood.

(It did for me,

just the other night.)

It's one of those movies 

I never tire of viewing,

and sure enough,

it always seems to play

this time of year.

'

Jimmy Stewart plays a small town

Savings & Loan banker,

in despair through no fault of his own.

His guardian angel, Clarence, shows him

what life would have been like

if he never existed.

Interestingly, this 1946 film was

considered a box office flop upon release,

even though it was nominated for 5 Oscars,

and recognized by the American Film Institute

as one of the "100 best" films of all time.

If you haven't seen it in a while (or at all),

this is a good one to watch.

And it NEVER FAILS

to put you in the Christmas spirit.

(P.S.  Clarence gets his wings.)
