Its not officially christmas for me if I don’t get to watch this movie on the eve of christmas.
My salutations to the late, great Frank Capra for creating such a heartwarming film that just spills with goodwill and hope for those who watches it. A great cast (James Stewart and Donna Reed etc.), and who could ever forget Clarence? Zuzu’s petals! George Bailey lassos the moon.
“A toast … to my big brother, George. The richest man in town.”
– Harry Bailey
“No man is a failure who has friends.”
– Clarence
“Every time a bell rings, an angel gets his wings.”
– Zuzu Bailey
These words still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. If I was half the man that George Bailey is, then I’d be one lucky fellow.
And from Peter Bailey, words to live by for 2007 and so on;
“All you can take with you is that which you’ve given away.”
– Peter Bailey
Happy holidays.

I can’t believe it! This is one of my all-time favorite films! It makes me cry everytime - every year! It’s not Christmas for me unless I watch “White Christmas” and “It’s A Wonderful Life”.
Thanks so much for sharing this.
