Well, folks, it’s that time of the year. The holiday season. And for those celebrating Christmas, it’s time to buy a Christmas tree. That’s what one family is doing here. I think they were happy with their purchase, especially the little girl.

It’s also that time of the year when they show certain movies on T.V. Last year, I mentioned that It’s a Wonderful Life is one of my favorite movies to watch. It’s always shown, some time, between Thanksgiving and Christmas. I’ve seen it a million billion and one times. I surprise myself that I never tire of watching it. They showed it last night but I hadn’t planned on watching it and turned the channel to watch something else. Somehow on a commercial break, I found myself back at the station showing It’s a Wonderful Life. I ended up watching it AGAIN till the end and enjoyed it as if I hadn’t seen it before.

There are a lot of fun scenes in this 1947 movie, as well as fun phrases that the characters say. Last year, I shared some of my favorite lines. This year, I’ll share one of my favorite scenes, which is when George Bailey, the hero, returns home. He’s so happy to see his family — wife and kids — he continuously hugs and kisses them as if he can’t get enough of them (See the movie cover above). George has realized that he has a wonderful life, after all. It’s a really touching scene.

Have a good week, everyone, and Happy Holidays!
