It's a wonderful life!

George Bailey: "What is it you want, Mary? What do you want? You want the moon? Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around it and pull it down. Hey. That's a pretty good idea. I'll give you the moon, Mary."
Mary: "I'll take it. Then what?"
George Bailey: "Well, then you can swallow it, and it'll all dissolve, see... and the moonbeams would shoot out of your fingers and your toes and the ends of your hair... am I talking too much?" 
Old Man: "Yes! Why don't you kiss her instead of talking her to death?"
George: "How's that?"
Old Man: "Why don't you kiss her instead of talking her to death?"
George: "Want me to kiss her, huh?"
Old Man: "Ah, youth is wasted on the wrong people!"

Whenever this season rolls around, and the snow covers the town in quiet magic I always think of this movie - it's become my favorite "Christmas" movie. Aside from being a really great living, breathing kind of film, it reminds me how much there is to be grateful for - and more importantly, how many people there are to be grateful for.

Yesterday I trimmed my own hair for the first time - it was Scaaaaa-ree. But after I got the initial length off it wasn't so bad. I gave myself some bangs, and cleaned up my layers. Whaddaya think?:
(please excuse my delicious lack of makeup)
