A Charlie Brown Christmas, is by far the best holiday TV show of all time.
Linus’ monologue is perhaps the most important TV speech of all time - holiday or otherwise.
Still get chills when Linus walks up to Chuck later and says “and that’s what Christmas is all about.”
I love the Rankin/Bass shows and have all of them and the Peanuts holiday movies on DVD and even though my kids are all grown up and out of the house I still watch them every year.

The Charlie Brown Halloween show features BOTH the Great Pumpkin and the Red Barron. Plus, Lucy gets kissed by Snoopy and Charlie Brown gets a rock.
How can anything compare to that?
I understand the attraction of the Christmas show, because it actually presents the story of Jesus. Something you never see in Christmas specials, but from end to end it’s not as good as the Halloween special.
