>>>>As for Uncle Billy - that's a reference from the movie "It's A Wonderful Life". Uncle Billy is George Bailey's kind-hearted but sometimes absent-minded Uncle who helps out at the Bailey Savings and Loan. On Christmas Eve, Uncle Billy loses 8 thousand dollars that he's supposed to deposit in the bank, and that sets off a chain reaction of events.

>>>>The entire movie is a classic, and the final scenes are perhaps the most emotional ending of any movie that's ever been made. If you've never watched it - watch it. It is the greatest movie ever made.

>So true. You have a keen observational ability. I would come straight after you if you weren't already taken. It is always on the air many times through the holidays.. It's sentimental but so am I. Off to the DVD player....
