A Charlie Brown Christmas...

[amdhunter]

Is there anything out there that makes it finally feel like Christmas every year? Since I was a kid, I absolutely loved to watch this show.

(It's on ABC right now.)

+++ I love watching that too, but since the Internet has come into play my latest holiday tradition is to watch A Charlie Brown Kwanzaa. Leave it up to the internet to take a classic kiddie cartoon and turn it into something raunchy as hell that no kid should ever watch lol.

I love it. I missed Rudolph last week (or was it Frosty the Snowman?) but I'm not missing this.

Ah that sucks. That is one of my favorites too.

The three I try to catch every year are: Charlie Brown Christmas, Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

Christmas Vacation is my "it's the christmas season!" movie.
Every year, it is a must watch. Best holiday movie ever!

I miss the Snoopy on Ice show. Our family Christmas tradition every year was to drive the hour to Santa Rosa where the Snoopy Ice Rink is and watch the most incredible and awesome ice show ever. Charles Schultz lived in that area and had it put on every year, and his son took over when he died, but they closed it down a few years ago (the show, not the ice rink) and it just seemed to take half the magic out of Christmas.

Both of the Charlie Brown holiday specials are my all time classic favorites.

For some reason in Dallas, the ABC station decided to preempt the two Christmas specials tonight with some stupid local news show. Bunch of morons.

Some stations don't air it because of it's Christian overtones.

Serious.

They didn't show the Prep and Landing Elf show either, which sucks because my son has been seeing the commercials for it since thanksgiving. Luckily I had Charlie Brown Christmas on DVD, guess I will have to torrent the Prep and Landing for him.

The best part about Charlie Brown is the jazz piano music. I heard on NPR a year or so ago that the Christmas special was banned in many countries after it was released due to the jazzy music being un-christian or something like that.

LMAO that was awesome.

You know what I seriously miss? The Christmas cartoon special I used to watch as a kid, I don't even remember what channel it was on, think it was Teletoon. It was like at least 3 hours of non stop Christmas cartoons, I recall Bugs Bunny, Rudolf, Frosty, think charlie brown as well. It was pretty much the same program each year. Super classic.

Always a Holiday favorite of mine...it was created 2 years before I was born.

It was NOT made in 1926!

It was put on hulu today..

One of my all time favorites. I'm surprised that the atheists of the world did not sue someone and have permitted this to show all these years without getting offended.

lol, most Athiests of the world grew up watching this -- and didn't realize how religious it was while growing up.

"Charlie Brown, you nasty ass n***a. You the only muthafucka I know that'll fuck up their Kwanzaa by not gettin yo chips. That crack hoe Lucy was off the hook, out of all the mutha fuckas on the earth, you the mutha fuckest!" - Linus to Charlie Brown.

How can that not fill you with holiday cheer?
