Last night I had the great joy of watching the original Peanuts Christmas special on TV with Jimmy and Rachel. I am so thankful that it hasn’t been edited down to fit today’s political correctness. Watching Merry Christmas Charlie Brown is one of the greatest memories I have of Christmas growing up as a child. I believe I have watched it every year for as long as I can remember. There has always been something special about when Charlie Brown asks does anyone know the true meaning of Christmas and Linus walks to the center of the stage at recites from the second chapter of Luke. Even before I was saved I knew that that as what Christmas truly was thanks to that one simple cartoon.
I hope that my kids get the same joy and comfort that I have recieved from that Christmas special as they are growing up.
