What Christmas is All About

Fifty years ago Charles Schulz somehow managed to convince TV execs to break all the rules – no laugh track, the use of children’s voices only, a sober message critical of commercialization, a long and unaccompanied reading of the Bible at the climax of the show – to produce “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” Given what has transpired since, Schulz’s concern about he commercialization of Christmas seems almost quaint. In truth, it turns out he was simply prescient…and perhaps prophetic, never more so than in the seven minutes of that television spectacle captured below. Amid the hustle and bustle of the season, perhaps you’ll have time to listen to Charlie Brown anxious plea and Linus’ wise retreat to the bare words of the story to be reminded what Christmas is all about. Blessed Christmas.
