A Charlie Brown Christmas is one of most loved Christmas TV specials of all time, first seen in 1965. One of a series of Peanuts TV specials, this wonderful animated short film is watched every Christmas by millions of families over the world.
Not wanting to ruin the magic of this treasure for you if you haven't seen it in years, I do want to encourage you to go down memory lane and smile for awhile at the true sweetness for this classic tale filled with many memorable moments.
When Charlie Brown is almost laughed out of the auditorium for bringing in a sad little Christmas tree, he asked the question if anyone knows the real reason for Christmas. Little Linus does, and he goes on to recite a passage from the Bible telling of the birth of Jesus. it is really amazing that Charles Schultz was able to include this speech. It is likely that if this was produced today, the network would not have allowed this to be included.
Well, thank God (literally) that this special is so old, and you can still hear about the real reason for the season straight from the mouth of babes.
The original film was digitally remastered and released on DVD in 2008, but if you want to view it online for free, click on the link and head on over to HULU.com. They air almost 22 of 25 minutes. Not bad for free. 
If you love it, like I know you will, you can get a copy for keeps.
