A Charlie Brown Christmas
Wednesday, November 29, 2006 at 7:41AM
I just have to say how happy I am that something so pure and wonderful as "A Charlie Brown Christmas" continues to air on television in the US.
I watched it last night, and was moved by the sincere representation of the troubles and confusion generated by confronting the modern American Christmas holiday - ultimately redeemed and assuaged by a reminder that the true meaning of the holiday is celebration of the coming and birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
I know TV execs likely keep the show on the air because of its popularity and "timelessness" or whatever, but I'm gonna toss the cynicism aside for a moment and say they made a good choice.
Peace on earth, good will toward men.
