It’s A Wonderful Life is a movie that is as essential to Christmas as a tree, presents, and a slap-up roast dinner. It’s probably more important to enjoying the holiday than Jesus himself!

This YouTube video shows the last 10 minutes of the movie, the part where James Stewart realizes life isn’t that bad, all thanks to the joys of Christmas.

The thing about Christmas is it can be the most joyous occasion, sharing time with family and friends, eating lots and making merry, or the worst time ever, depending on what else is going on in your life at the time.

It’s A Wonderful Life is a life-affirming movie that has withstood the test of time to become a true classic. I’ll be watching it over Christmas once again, how about you?
