She always thought she was somebody special... and she was.

The discovery that she has a terminal illness prompts introverted department store saleswoman Georgia Byrd to reflect on what she realizes has been an overly cautious life. With weeks to live, she withdraws her life savings, sells all her possessions and jets off to Europe where she lives it up at a posh hotel. Upbeat and passionate, Georgia charms everybody she meets, including renowned Chef Didier. The only one missing from her new life is her longtime crush Sean Matthews.

Rewatching Last Holiday reminded me why it’s such a gem, not just a holiday movie but a wake-up call wrapped in charm. Queen Latifah shines as Georgia Byrd, a sweet, timid woman who’s spent her life playing it safe. When she’s hit with life-altering news, she throws caution to the wind and starts living the life she’s always dreamed of. Georgia’s “Book of Possibilities” really struck a chord with me. It’s a quiet reminder that so many of us have our own “books,” filled with dreams we shelve for “someday.” Queen Latifah’s transformation in the movie is so much fun to watch. Add Gérard Depardieu as a quirky chef, stunning European backdrops, and mouthwatering food, and it’s the perfect mix of heart and humor. The message is simple but timeless: take risks, cherish the now, and live fully. Watching it again makes me want my own “Book of Realities,” a little nudge to embrace life with Georgia’s boldness.
