🔔 When to See *IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE* on TV in 2020! 🔔 SEE HERE:

In my book "IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE" is THE CHRISTMAS CLASSIC! Do you feel the same way? All year long, I just can't wait to see this special movie during the Christmas season. For 3 wonderful hours (with commercials) I am completely captured by George Bailey and all of the happenings in the small town of Bedford Falls. Of ALL the movies I've ever seen, it is by far my absolute favorite. Do you agree? It is so meaningful to see how each of our lives touches the other. Accumulating money does not make us rich; instead, we are enriched by our faith, family and friends. That is the message that rings out loud, with the bell, when Clarence gets his wings!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to All my Friends & Family at *It's a Wonderful Movie* - - May you Open the Greatest Gift of Christmas Today!

"And she shall bring forth a Son,

and thou shalt call His name JESUS:

for He shall save His people from their sins. "

~Matthew 1:21

When I think of Christmas, I think of the glowing lights, the cherished gifts, the holy star, angels on high, pure white snow, and so many more lovely things!

All of these Christmas treasures tie in to the holy birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who came as a tiny little baby that first Christmas to save us from our sins.

On that first Christmas night when the star shown bright and the angels sang, Jesus was that first Light, the Light of the World. If we receive Him, then we, too, come out of the darkness and into the Light.

The Greatest Gift of all was given in a stable on that first Christmas. Love!

In order to receive Jesus, all we have to do is ask Him to come into our hearts and forgive us of our sins. Then He washes us white as snow!

Traditionally, again this Christmas, I will be spending the day with ALL my family. I love when everyone comes home! Before any gifts are unwrapped, my Father reads the Christmas story from Luke 2 in the Bible, and everyone listens intently as we think upon that first Christmas long, long ago. Jesus is always the first gift we receive Christmas morning. Then, we take turns unwrapping gifts from under the tree... appreciating the time together, the presents given, and enjoying the moment. Also, in my heart... I'll be remembering Christmases past and treasuring all of the precious memories - in the midst of making new ones!

My hope for all who visit here... is that you have a joyous Christmas- no matter where you are. My prayer is that you will find grace, comfort, and peace in the love of Jesus!

It's a Wonderful Life on Christmas Eve & December 29th!

*It's a Wonderful Life*

will be airing again this Year

 on Christmas Eve, on NBC...

and then you can also see another *Encore Airing*

on USA Network, December 29th at 9AM/8c.

It's a Wonderful Life

I love how USA has aired additional showings of "It's a Wonderful Life" this Year! At least, two of their showings were in color, too!

 

*It's A Wonderful Life*

is available in a Two-Disc Collector's Set
in Black & White and Color!

 

Seeing "It's a Wonderful Life" in color,

is like seeing a whole new movie again, for the very first time!

Perhaps, they will surprise us and show it again in color, sometime on TV!

 

I pray you all have...

A Wonderful Christmas!!!

 

Ring the Bells: IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE to air on TV twice this Christmas Season!

It's a Wonderful Life

 

It is truly a special night of TV when 'It's a Wonderful Life' is on.

 

How many black & white movies take over a local TV network for 3 hours during Primetime?

Not once, but twice, in one month?

 Exactly! Only ONE...

the beloved Christmas Classic:

IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE!

 

It has been cherished and enjoyed for years by generations of movie watchers...

and yet, it's message is strong and meaningful in our lives today!

 

Every life has meaning and purpose and "no man is a failure who has friends."

 

 

I am thrilled to think of someone out there seeing 'It's a Wonderful Life' for the very first time! This movie is so special and dear to my heart. I remember watching it so many times throughout the Christmas Season during my childhood - back in the day when it was free for stations to air and trust me, they certainly did... over and over again! And, we loved every second - we just happened to catch it... whether it was right at the beginning, in the middle, or near the "Every time a bell rings!" end!

 

See It's a Wonderful Life at 8 PM E.S.T. on NBC

Saturday December 6, 2014

and Christmas Eve, Wednesday December 24, 2014! 

 

 

 

It's a Wonderful Life moved to December 20th!

NBC has just changed their schedule and this may or may not be Wonderful News for many fans of It's a Wonderful Life.

Originally, it had been scheduled, since October, for the NBC Network to show It's a Wonderful Life on December 14th and 24th! It will now air December 20th and remain on the 24th, Christmas Eve, at 8 p.m. ET! Very close together!

"Well whaddya know about that!!!"

— George Bailey

Replacing NBC's scheduled broadcast of the holiday classic It's a Wonderful Life, is a repeat airing of the recently aired - Live stage version of The Sound of Music.

Personally, although I was looking forward to it this weekend, I think the 20th of December will actually be a Wonderful Night for It's a Wonderful Life to air! There won't be any new movies on the Hallmark Channel, ABC Family, UP, or Lifetime to compete on that night, so many more will be able to enjoy this beloved Christmas Classic!

"A toast to my big brother George: The richest man in town!"

— Harry Bailey

 

"It's a Wonderful Wonderful Life" - Catch it twice on Two Christmas Nights!

It's a Wonderful Life,

will again, air Twice this year, on TV!

Gather your family and return to Bedford Falls...

as we all see that one man's life

touches so many others!

 

December 14th and 24th on NBC

at 8 PM (est)!

 

 

*Also see updates in the Christmas TV Schedule

for the Hallmark Channel, ION, Lifetime, and More!

Wonderful Ratings for "It's a Wonderful Life"

"It's a Wonderful Life"

had TOP Ratings when it aired on NBC

on Christmas Eve Night!

According to our Source: Nielsen Media Research, "It's a Wonderful Life" had 5.62 million viewers and was #1 among adult viewers age 18-49 on December 24, 2012. This was it's most-watched airing since 2005! How they figure such facts is baffling; however, I certainly know our family was gathered around watching "It's a Wonderful Life" that evening, too! It has become an annual Christmas Eve Tradition in our home and it's fun to think we were joined in watching it with more than 5 million viewers! By any chance, were you one of them?

There's nothing quite like the closing scene when family, friends, and towns people gather around and celebrate George Bailey, "the Richest man in Town"! It is amazing how each life affects the other...

"Auld Lang Syne"

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

and never brought to mind ?

Should old acquaintance be forgot,

and old lang syne ?

CHORUS:

For auld lang syne, my dear,

for auld lang syne,

we'll take a cup of kindness yet,

for auld lang syne.

Happy New Year, Everyone!!!

Jimmy Stewart Movie Day on TCM - August 13, 2011

You may guess my favorite Jimmy Stewart film. It is, of course, It's a Wonderful Life. It is the very reason why this blog is titled, "It's a Wonderful Movie". I love everything about the movie - George Bailey, Bedford Falls, Clarence, the Bailey family, and as Mary Bailey says... "and well, everything!" Unfortunately, it cannot be played during this TCM Jimmy Stewart Movie Tribute Day. Why? Because it is owned by NBC and they play it once or twice at Christmastime. However, if you own It's a Wonderful Life on DVD - you can watch it whenever you want and there are many other Jimmy Stewart movies to enjoy!

There is actually another Jimmy Stewart movie, titled It's a Wonderful World. I have never seen it and it was done years before IAWL, but I am curious to watch it. (by the way - it is being played on August 12th!) It is not in any way connected to IAWL, except, that they both star Jimmy Stewart.

Plus, TCM is playing the incredible movie, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. We sure could use a man like Jimmy Stewart, in Washington today! I hope many will watch and be inspired. The Shop Around The Corner has a Christmas Scene - so many of us Christmas Movie watchers - will enjoy that one. Many of the other other movies TCM is playing of Jimmy Stewart's, are Westerns.



August 12, 2011:

It's a Wonderful World 10 PM


August 13, 2011:

The Last Gangster 6:00 AM

The Shopworn Angel 7:30 AM

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington 9:00 AM

Wife vs. Secretary 11:15 AM

Vivacious Lady 12:45 PM

The Shop Around The Corner 2:30 PM

Bell, Book And Candle 4:15 PM

The Naked Spur 6:15 PM

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance 8 PM

No Highway in the Sky 10:15 PM

Anatomy Of A Murder 12:00 AM

The Murder Man 2:45 AM

The Stratton Story 4 AM



Unfortunately, two of my other favorite Stewart movies won't be on today, either. They are Rear Window and The Man Who Knew too Much. Who doesn't love a good mystery? Oh well... maybe next time!

All I know is this... Whatever Jimmy Stewart is in, he captivates the screen and his audience.

Enjoy!
