>"I never thought it was such a bad little tree. It's not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love." Good message, great music, fun characters.. I love Charlie Brown. I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't love this classic, and hope it continues to bring people joy for another 60 years.

I have two TV movies that are my favourites at Christmastime. This is one and the other is THE GRINCH THAT STOLE CHRISTMAS. Linus' recitation of the angel announcing Jesus' birth by to the shepherds echos in my heart every Christmas. This show bucked the network and almost didn't get aired. They felt America wouldn't receive it's clear message of Christmas hope and wanted it cut. They were against having children voice the Peanut's characters. The jazz musical score was considered too unconventional. But Schultz stood his ground and we reaped the benefits. I rate this short movie a 10 (favourite) out of 10. [Animated Christmas Special]

Still great, but a couple things that parents might consider problematic for young young kids, like all the kids calling everything “stupid”. If that’s not a problem for you, then it’s still wonderful!

Simply a classic Christmas movie. Also, that tree is beautiful.
