    For those missing the reference, Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, whichever applies to you:

    “Zuzu’s Petals:

    A phrase from the 1946 movie “Its a Wonderful Life”. The petals belong to Zuzu Bailey, the youngest daughter of George Bailey the main character. Zuzu had brought a flower home from school. When she was upset that a few petals had fallen off, George pretended to reattach them and secretly slipped them into his pocket.

    Towards the end of the movie, after being shown what the world might be like if he had never been born, George is given a second chance by God. Changes that had occurred while he didn’t exist, were returned. He is initially made aware of this, in part, by the fact that Zuzu’s Petals were again in his pocket."

    Monty’s right. Christmas is family and friends time, this year we are all stuck at home. Thanks CCP!

    I have nothing against a little good-spirited, energy-wastage during the holidays. However, I don’t like how the season is spoiled by mega-light-bombers, Simple-minded TV news teams soon bring far more easily-amused visitors than the neighborhood can safely handle. It is especially a problem this year with so many public entertainments closed down.

    What happened to Monty living as a hermit a week ago? As far as I remember that wasn’t resolved – he was still living in the cave.

    “It’s a Wonderful Life” seems to be an inappropriate title in 2020.

    Having seen it on TV a few times nonetheless, I may say I never was a huge fan of the movie….
