Charles Schultz was a strong Christian man with a kind heart for humanity. The network idiots tried to force him to remove Linus' recitation of Luke, Schultz refused. When it aired in 1965, it became a Beloved classic. Knowing what we now know about the networks it easy to understand their plan to remove God from everything.
The actor who voiced Charlie Brown recently passed away.
Hard pill to swallow, but any famous enduring Media in the last century was made that way due to containing Clown Comms.
Charlie Brown = bad child psychology
Reconcile the horrible advice he gets from Peppermint Patty, the one who yanks the ball away teasing him. In these holiday specials, Charlie is humiliated.
Put into a position of power when he is not equipped, by design, to handle it. Purposefully creating humiliation. This acts as a guide to Comms Aware families and kids for creating monsters.
Notice that when he says “fear not”…he drops his blanket. No need for earthly security…we trust in the Father. Powerful implications from a very small detail. Gods peace and grace to all during this season of the king of kings!
Holidays simply rocked Charles. He was all fucked up about Halloween too wasn't he? Or was that Linus that was worshipping the Great Pumpkin? Lol.
Merry Christmas folks. Good will toward men. Those are the orders. Now let's carry them out.
Thanks to the mods for the sticky. I watched this Christmas special every year when I was a child. It never failed to inspire me. Since then it seemed like Christmas was always in need of saving, to be plucked from the precipice in movies and on TV by some hero who struggles to rise to the occasion. But this is a human perspective that hopes in a thing hopeless people desperately want to be true, that somehow, someway we can save ourselves. No need for God to get involved, although Santa might come to help, giving the one who proved him or herself worthy a little metaphysical push. He might even leave presents for us when we are done.
But there is only one true Hero, the One who left heaven to become a man and share in our pain and sorrow. We were the ones who needed the saving. Those who don't know Him think it's just a story somebody made up, but millions who do know Him know that the story is real. They have directly experienced God's love and saving power in their lives, and there is only one name by which any of that happens.
Always loved this. I love it even more when it was pointed out that Linus lets go of his blanket. So subtle, yet so significant.
Yes, when Linus says, "Fear not"...powerful.

Yep, as I recall, even back then this special was one of the few (if not the only one) on TV that told the true meaning of Christmas.
Yes!
Only recently passed away? Wow

One of my favorite (and often unnoticed) details. :)
Given all the other animation and continuity errors in this special (the tree is an obvious one), I just wrote it off as another.
But man, that works out.
Luke 2:8-14
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Merry Christmas ✝️ ❤️ 🌎
I was Linus in our school play. That was a long long soliloquy for a kid.
