Descripition
It's Christmas! Everyone is getting into the Christmas spirit -- except for Charlie Brown. It seems like everybody has forgotten what Christmas is truly about. But Lucy, Linus, and the whole Peanuts gang have some holiday surprises that will make even Charlie Brown feel merry!
My Thoughts
My adorable husband came home the other night with this book in hand. He knows my brother and I still get together to watch this at Christmas time. And if we can't be together, we call each other on the phone to remind one another it is on.
This story begins with what commercial items the gang want for Christmas. But Charlie Brown is depressed and searching for something more meaningful.
" You're the only one I know who can take a wonderful season like Christmas and turn it into a problem," Linus replied. Linus is starting to believe Lucy is correct when she says Charlie is the "Charlie Browniest."
Charlie continues his quest for the true meaning of Christmas and picks out the most pathetic tree which topples over when he places an ornament on it. But the tree ends up being a perfect choice!
Linus and others happily act out a play about the true meaning of Christmas..
