Charlie Brown Christmas
Charlie Brown Christmas
Luke2: 8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field , keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 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 . 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold , I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes , lying in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying , 14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Re: Charlie Brown Christmas
Best scene in the show.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Charlie Brown Christmas
The congregation I used to attend acquired its first Processional Cross in 1999.
It was only afterward that I realized what "A Charlie Brown Christmas" was really all about.
After Linus quotes from St. Luke, Charlie grasps the tree as though it were a processional cross and leads the group outside.
Charlie places single ball is placed on Charlie's poor little tree. It bends over and "dies" ("I've killed it!”)
The poor little tree is given a resurrection into something more glorious than ever before courtesy of stripping the overly-decorated doghouse of Snoopy.
Death and Resurrection is really what A Charlie Brown Christmas is all about.
The death and resurrection shown not only in the tree, but in the stripping away of the materialism and greed which had even infected Snoopy.
What is Christmas all about? Romans 6!
Life is an Orthros.
