Every holiday season, the topic of Christmas movies comes up in the workplace and at parties.
And people are always flabbergasted that I admit to never having seen "It's a Wonderful Life."
I love the look on people's faces. It's like I told them I never got a driver's license or kissed a girl.
It's been a quirky badge of honor.
But no more.
Last weekend in the comfort of the Centennial Hotel in Concord, N.H., on a bitter cold Norman Rockwell winter night, I finally watched George Bailey lasso the moon in Bedford Falls.
As had been advertised, it was a charming movie with a strong, endearing message.
And worth the wait.
Well it's about time you've seen this movie!

I think Christmas Story is a better movie, only because it's more modern. It's more entertaining as well.

They don't make 'em like Jimmy Stewart anymore.

Geddy - agreed.
