Charlie Brown and the Meaning of Christmas

Peanuts was a beloved comic strip created by Charles Schulz.  Children and adults alike would wait for the paper to see what Charlie Brown and his friends would do next.

In the 1960's they were adapted for television.  The broadcast of Charlie Brown's Christmas special became a tradition.

In this story, Charlie Brown and his friends seek the true meaning of Christmas in the production of a school pageant, decorating a tree, and the selection of Christmas music.  Eventually Linus sorts it out and explains the true meaning of Christmas.
