Christmas Eve at Doright Manor
George Bailey found out
When prayers sent up saved him
Life is wonderful

Although our children
Are far away this Christmas
Their presence is felt
I’m watching my favorite Christmas movie, It’s a Wonderful Life. As usual I began crying when young George Bailey prevented the pharmacist, Mr. Gower, from poisoning a young child. Studly Doright wanted to watch the next episode of Fargo, but I argued that we could watch that any old time.
For once I won the battle for the remote. Studly’s even resisted the urge to flip to another channel during commercial breaks. I love him, even if he did buy me a holster for the gun I received for Christmas last year and still haven’t touched. Love is funny that way.
The cats are both drunk on catnip.
And I’m just content. I just heard a bell ring, and you know what that means.

Peace, people!
We went to see It’s a Wonderful Life at a theatre tonight. I’d never seen it on the big screen with no commercials, completely uncut. And it was terrific. Just engrossing if you can believe it after seeing it a hundred times. An absolutely perfect movie for Christmas Eve.

What a wonderful way to spend Christmas Eve! My husband had never seen it from the beginning, so last night he finally understood all of the references.
