This is a movie I grew up with. It is an animated Christmas special featuring the Peanuts characters. It
came out in 1965, when I was eight. Through my teen year the group of
kids I hung with had a thing for Charlie Brown. We would share his
comics before school as the bus landed us a few minutes early. This
is one of those shorts I have enjoyed my entire life. Before video, I
would look forward to the showing of this every year, and always try not
to miss it. I love when they sing "Hark the Herald Angels Sing." It makes me tingle. I
love Schroeder's music. And I love Linus reciting the Christmas story.
This is a movie that makes Christmas season better.
