It’s a Wonderful Life is one of my favorite Holiday movies.
If you’ve never seen it (really who hasn’t?), the film is about a man named George Bailey played by Jimmy Stewart, who had a lifelong dream to travel the world, but due to business obligations at a family-operated building and loan, he puts aside his dreams to help his family and others.
The building and loan is on the verge of going under and it drives a desperate George to contemplate suicide. He is convinced that the world would have been better had he never been born.
