Another Christmas Classic

charliebrown2.jpgA Charlie Brown Christmas has got to go down in history as one of the all-time greatest half-hours in Christmas lore. Where else can you find so many precocious children, the dog of everyone's dreams, classical music, and honest searching for the "true" meaning of Christmas, all bathed in the innocence of that wonderful bygone era? And where else can you find such honesty about the more difficult aspects of Christmas: loneliness, rejection, depression, materialism...? It's all there, wrapped in the sweetest package to ever grace television!

And with that said, there's only one thing left to say...

Merry Christmas,

Charlie Brown!
