"It's A Wonderful Life" is a great Christmas film about a decent, but depressed man named, George Bailey, who contemplates taking his life, as things are not going well for him. He is selfless and giving, so much so, he has put aside his dreams to help others. This is apart of his depression, as he is not keeping things in perspective.

Due to his depression, friends and family pray for him and God sends an angel to help him. The angel shows him the difference he has made in others lives to great results. "It's A Wonderful Life" is a wonderful film with an enduring message. People sometimes become depressed at the holidays and I implore you not to take your life. Prayer changes things.
