Joe Krakovsky's Reviews > A Charlie Brown Christmas

"A Charlie Brown Christmas" tells the story of the true meaning of Christmas. It isn't about Santa Claus or finding gifts under the tree. Sure, many have come to believe that is what it is all about, especially when certain individuals don't want to allow manger scenes around hospitals and other public places, even though hospitals are the one place you would think you want that, as well as any other religions' presence. Leave it to little Linus to set the record straight.

For many of us this cute little book is full of nostalgia too. Remember when you could buy something for a nickel? Do you remember when most everyone put up lights and decorations, and the trees came from the corner lot? Those falling pine needles were everywhere, but the smell of a fresh tree wafted through the air to help set the mood. Getting that tree home was work, sure, but it was worth it. And remember the school plays and programs? Those were different times. This is a cute little book to read to the young'uns. And who doesn't like Snoopy?
