Interesting,
Thanks.

A friend was sharing this with some youth at church. First time I’d heard that. Since then several have mentioned it.

Fear not.

Very good. Thanks for posting!

And Merry Christmas

What a blessed vision!
Fear Not!

I will never forget how wonderfully shocked I was when I saw this film as a fifth grader, when it first appeared. The cynical, almost nihilistic dialog, combined with the avant-garde musical score, left me more and more depressed as the show went on. “What, I thought this was supposed to be funny?” And then, just when it couldn’t get more depressing, Linus’ reading hit me like a ton of bricks. Even back then it was shocking to hear scripture on TV. Wow.

The light is still with us, and the darkness has never mastered it!

Merry Christmas to one and all!

Good catch. Who needs a security blanket when you have The Security Blanket?

I love that! Thank you for sharing it. That is a huge revelation. Showing that Linus no longer needed his blanket when focusing on Christ.

Charlie Brown’s Christmas is one of my favorites I MUST watch every Christmas. Now you have added, which I didn’t think possible, to my enjoyment of it.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, DoodleBob!

It is a profound recitation of Luke’s version of The Nativity. We all know it. Now we realize why.

[Yardstick]

Wow, never noticed that. Does seem to be a subtle but very intentional easter egg (as they say).

[rlmorel]

Just hearing it makes me feel strong emotion..thanks for posting it, FRiend, and...Merry Christmas to you and yours!

[HangnJudge]

Towards the end,
Linus again releases his blanket (fears and insecurities)
and wraps it around the base of the Christmas Tree!

I never noticed that before. I am so bad at imagery in art.

But now that you see it, you cannot unsee it.

Linus is also the peanut that spends all night on Halloween waiting for the great pumpkin to return rather than go trick or treating
