It's Christmas Time Charlie Brown!

So it's that time of year again where they play holiday movies on every channel for about a month. I remember when I was little watching those old semi-claymation movies, Rudolph and Frosty and The Year Without a Santa Claus. But by far my favorite holiday movie is A Charlie Brown Christmas!

It's most definitely a classic. Take Charlie Brown the poor guy who no one loves and his dog Snoopy who is adored by all. Then you factor in Lucy the crazy girl, and Linus who can't be kept away from his blanket.

Then have these characters try and recreate the manger and explain to everyone the true meaning of Christmas. When Linus goes into that ever so famous monologue it's just one of those moments that you have to appreciate.

And I think Lucy's got it right, I'm waiting for January snow.
