Secularism at CBS (and the other networks) has been in vogue for much longer than most people realize.

I know. However, it was not as much "in your face" like now and despite their misgivings, Charles Schultz did get his way. Back then up to the mid 1980's, we did have more freedom then, be it Charles Schultz's religious message or Norman Lear's liberalism on "All in the Family." Even though the latter mocked conservatives many times, I still cannot see "All in the Family" on TV today with the PC speech codes we have today. Still, it was a different time and although the rot was starting then, we still have most of our sanity. When Peanut's Christmas aired, I was just a twinkle in Mom's eye, it is a special episode to me. The way Linus explained Christmas sends a chill down my spine and a tear to my eye.

Mom passed away last year, a week before Thanksgiving, so the holiday period is hard on me, I miss her very much. We were like Batman and Robin so to speak and now I feel like Robin without Batman. B-(
