Todays Christmas movie is not a movie but a Christmas tradition.
"Merry Christmas Charlie Brown" was made in 1965 and based the very popular comic strip series Peanuts and won an Emmy and a Peabody.
Produced and directed by Bill Melendez who also contributed the voice of Snoopy. The show still holds it's own even today.
The highlight is the speech given by Linus.
(Pay attention atheist idiots)
"'And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.' That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown."
There is also the ground breaking jazz soundtrack by Vince Guaraldi. The sound track is still one of the fastest selling Christmas albums available.
Simple this is a must see Christmas event.
