a charlie brown christmas. nothing gives you the christmas feel goods like a charlie brown christmas.
maybe its the warm jazzy-jaz of the vince guaraldi trio. every year i dig out that album and put it in my car's cd player the day after thanksgiving and don't take it out until christmas is over. i could listen to it a thousand times over. 
maybe its the heart-melting genius of charles schulz's writing. a charlie brown christmas has saved ugly christmas trees everywhere. after seeing that movie, there's always someone who will drive home with the "ugly" tree on the lot.
maybe its the swirly goodness of the peanuts animation team. look at that snow. doesn't it look so peaceful? another thing that always gets me are the facial expressions of charlie brown and the gang. who knew all it took were the ever-changing parentheses to change the characters' emotions. brilliant.
or maybe it's that mischevious loveable dog.
it's probably a combination of all of those. but for whatever reason, young and old will enjoy this classic for generations to come. i will make sure my kids know their charlie brown!
merry christmas and stay tuned for more!
