Our annual Christmas Eve tradition is to watch the movie 'It's a Wonderful Life'.The story is a good reminder of the impact that one person's good behaviors and selfless choices can have on the lives of others around them and beyond them.
This year I was particularly struck by the way the plot line also pointed out how today's bad banking behaviors and selfish corporate attitudes are negatively impacting so many average people's lives. As a result, the film's "Pottersville" nightmare, in all its harshness and vulgarity, now looms before us in real life.
But here, for your viewing pleasure, is Jimmy Stewart poignantly delivering the quintessential Frank Capra-esque comment on, and warning for, our times:
