Christmas time is here. Happiness and Cheer!
Charlie Brown (Robbins) is depressed because it's Christmas time again, and he hasn't received any Christmas cards and he doesn't know what Christmas is all about. Oddly enough, it is Lucy (Stratford) who gives him a little bit of purpose by asking him to direct their Christmas program at school. Charlie Brown excitedly takes the job, but soon gets frustrated that it isn't going well, and has a little tantrum on stage, wondering if ANYBODY knows what Christmas is all about!!!!
That's when Linus (Shea) takes center stage and recites a bit of Luke 2, stating that Jesus' birth is what Christmas is really about. Obviously, that's wonderful! But it is one of those movies that otherwise doesn't have a point. It was a tv special, so it's short. I like it.
Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!!
