What You're Doing This Week: December 17
It's true, there's no place like home for the holidays, but with most of the kids off school for up to three weeks you have to get out of the house at some point. Happy Holidays!

Take your kids to see the greatest holiday movie ever made and see it on the big screen in the comfort of the Arclight. All his life, George Bailey (Stewart) has given up his big dreams for the good of his town, Bedford Falls. One Christmas Eve, he finds himself broken and suicidal over the loss of an $8,000 loan and the machinations of the evil millionaire, Mr. Potter (Barrymore). His guardian angel, Clarence (Travers), falls to Earth, literally, and shows him how his town, family, and friends would turn out if he had never been born. George meant so much to so many people; should he really throw it all away?
