There are many great ways to spend 32 minutes this holiday season. One way is to bake cookies. Another is to trim the tree. The best, however, is to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas, by far the best 30 minutes ever on television.
Charlie Brown has to help put together a school play in this one. Lucy tells him a tree is just what the new play needs, so Charlie Brown runs off to get one. However, he gets the scrawniest tree of the whole bunch. Dispite all the kids laughter at Charlie, Linus makes sure Charlie Brown knows the true meaning of Christmas.
This special is one that can never get old. I don't know why, it seems to be a fact of life. You just can't tire of the film. Each year, laughs come steady and the lines come flowing through your mouth as though you've heard them for the first time.
These days, stores tend to not even say Christmas in their store sales, yet here we have Linus himself stating a large expert from the Bible. It dosen't feel too mucky though. In fact, it feels like part of why you love the show. I can think of no other show that would dare to push boundaries like so.
Christmas comes once a year, bu don't just watch Charlie Brown Christmas once. Watch it over and over again. Perfection.
