I think my favorite Christmas movie is of course the timeless A Charlie Brown Christmas. The whole story is special in every way. Here is a a character, Charlie Brown, who is scorned by friends and family alike. He is a perpetual loser but he keeps trying. Despite being called a blockhead and being taunted he continues undaunted in his task to find the best Christmas Tree ever. Linus’ speech on the true meaning of Christmas is the most special part of the show. I also love the music throughout the show and always think of that as the Peanuts music. We even used that in our wedding. The scenes where everyone is goofing off and dancing are also fantastic. I just love the dances and snoopy strumming the base. What better Christmas movie is there?

Charles Schulz
Charles Schulz is my very favorite comic strip artist ever. I recently purchased four of the complete Peanuts series. This is a huge collection of some of the most prolific comic strip art ever. The series starts with the 1950 collection. I have 1950-1958 and am looking to get the rest of the series eventually. I want to make a display case for these books so that they can be seen as art and then easily removed and read. I was thinking of some sort of case for these books that will be large enough to hold the complete series. I can’t wait to introduce my children to the wonderful world of Peanuts.
