The TRUE Meaning of Christmas...
There is only one word that can describe this video... CLASSIC. Made in 1965, this movie has withstood the test of time and still remains one of the best Christmas programs of all time. It put Peanuts and Vince Guaraldi on the map. The Vince Guaraldi Trio composed the soundtrack to this film which, in my opinion, is the best Christmas album ever. Not only is it entertaining, it has a simple, but important message: Love and togetherness is the true meaning of Christmas, not presents, decorations, and fancy Christmas productions. If you celebrate the feeling of Christmas, then you don't need all that superficial stuff. Charles Shultz was a genius in his own way. He found a way to deliver important (sometimes grown-up) ideas to kids so they can understand them better. Since it only airs once a year, this video is essential to your movie collection. The soundtrack is DEFINATELY an essential to your CD collection. I love to put up the decorations and tree to the music. It makes for a very sentimental holiday. The only downside to the video is that it is only 30 minutes long. But it doesnt take away from its message. A GREAT Christmas masterpiece.
