[Vision2020] Merry Christmas (I think)

[Carl Westberg]

I actually have nothing against "It's a Wonderful Life" beyond the fact that 
it used to be on TV constantly.  I couldn't get away from it.  I guess I 
could have changed channels, but that takes a lot of physical effort.  How 
about playing "what's your favorite Christmas movie?"  Mine is still "A 
Christmas Story" ("You'll shoot your eye out!") although it's been suffering 
from overexposure the last few years, also.  Closely followed by the 1951 
version of "A Christmas Carol" starring Alistair Sim as Scrooge.  And 
"Scrooged" with Bill Murray.
