It's A Wonderful LifeEveryone knows the story of perhaps the best-known, best-loved Christmas film ever made. What would life have been like in Bedford Falls, New York if George Bailey had never been born.

Will Clarence the Apprentice Angel get his wings for stopping Bailey’s suicide? Will greedy old Mr. Potter get his hands on the Savings & Loan?  After his father’s death, his responsibilities at the S&L, and family life, will George Bailey ever get to see the world?  Will it matter?

You know, but it’s a great show anyway. Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed star in Frank Capra’s classic It’s A Wonderful Life.  We even learn what happens if someone gets the moon.  Enjoy it with our best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Capra’s movie takes on even more significance this year, as many people fear the next “Depression”. The discussions in the movie about mortgages and home ownership are even more noteworthy in light of the mortgage failures across the US.

I hear the financial pinch has delayed the awarding of wings for a number of angels as well.
