A Charlie Brown Christmas

[BSR]

I just found this on YouTube, the whole Peanuts Christmas Special.  I remember watching it year after year as a kid, never grew tired of it.  At 20:23, Linus gives a monologue on the significance of Christmas:  the birth of Jesus Christ.  Apparently the network told Charles Schultz to cut it, but Schultz insisted, to the point he threatened to cancel the whole project unless the true meaning of Christmas made it into the final version.  Schultz won the battle, and generations of kids grew up watching A Charlie Brown Christmas.

I’ll make it a point to watch it tomorrow, haven’t seen it in years.  This is my first Christmas in hot weather, kinda odd seeing all the Christmas decorations while walking around in the sweltering heat and humidity.  Hopefully it will make the day feel a little more Christmasy here in Manila, or at least more like the Christmas I remember growing up.

Whether you celebrate the birth of Christ or not, Merry Christmas to all!

This has to be AI, right?  Even so, it’s an awesome ad!
