It’s December. First … yuk.
Second, soon we’re going to be inundated with Christmas movies. One of my favorites is “It’s a Wonderful Life,” Frank Capra’s ode to self-sacrifice. Trouble is, if you’ve seen the movie as many times as I have, you might want to take a break from having yet again to contemplate the significance of Zuzu’s petals.
That’s why I offer the follow JibJab adaptation of Capra’s film, which runs all of 90 seconds.
Enjoy.

Watching It's a Wonderful Life is a holiday tradition I introduced to the hubs about 5 years ago. After seeing it one time he was ready to move on, but I have to watch it at least three times every season. Don't know why, just do. Maybe this year I'll do him a favor and substitute the Jib Jab version, once.

Love the addendum “once.” My own family tradition? Watching “A Christmas Story” with my daughter. As she now lives in Brooklyn, we don't get to do it much. But maybe she's now passing that tradition on to her own daughter, known in our household as “The World's Cutest Baby” - WCB, for short.
BTW, Tricia, love the monkey slippers. Good gift idea for the girls mentioned above.
