Christmas time is not only one of the
most wonderful times of the year but it is
the most magical time of the year. It is a
time of excitement and a time for giving
back to others and enjoying good family
and friends. During this time of the year I
become the most aware of how lucky I
truly am and how I should count each of
my blessings everyday.
Over this past Thanksgiving break I
watched the movie “It’s a Wonderful
Life”. I love that movie not only because
it is such a classic but also it has a
meaning that many people wish to find in
their own lives. Everyday we are
compared to someone or something
someone has or something someone did.
When we begin to get compared as much
as we do we start to question our
happiness and if we really are happy.
Everyone is different and we all have our
own lives, which will bring us to different
ends of the road. We are in charge of our
lives and most importantly our happiness.
In “It’s a Wonderful Life” George Bailey
is the town’s hero where everyone loves
him. Since George loves to make others
happy and gives so much to others he
feels that he has been held back since he
has given so much to others. It wasn’t
until a misplaced check gets lost that
George begins to question his life as well
as if his past decisions were right. His
guardian angel shows him the way and
shows him how wonderful his life truly is.
I feel that everyone needs a
guardian angel to swoop down from
the sky and show him or her that
everything they are doing is the
right thing (for the most part) and
show people that things could be
worse than what they really are. The
grass may seem greener on the
other side, but once you cross over
to see the real view you notice that
you wished you’d never left your
side.
Christmas is a time to
celebrate all of the love, health and
happiness that there is to life. Make
it the best and give life all that you
have.
