A few thoughts about this Christmas special I’m always drawn to:
- I’m still adjusting to all Peanuts cartoons being shown on ABC, I’m use to seeing them on CBS all of my life.
- I totally love the music.
- I blame this cartoon for the sorrow that I bestow on inanimate objects. I know that a tree is a living organism and all, but I guess I’m referring to things that can’t communicate. Example: If I’m at the grocery store buying a can of green beans and I see one can that is slightly damaged, I’ll end up buying that damaged can because I want it to feel happy – kind of like Charlie Brown did with that Christmas tree. Silly I know, but that’s just me.
And, when you empty the can of beans and one is left in the can, don’t you feel sorry for it and reach in and get it rather than throwiing it away!? I do! I’ve always had a heart for the “ones not chosen”!
Well Okay, now I know why I felt an instant kinship with you, Geeding. I bought the “ugly” tree for YEARS just because of Charlie Brown…
Plus, by choosing that can, hey, free botulism!
