Charlie Brown Christmas

Rented it from the library to show the kids. They were slightly bored at first, but that's because they're used to explosions and fairy odd-parents crashing out of their TV screen every five seconds, so something like a real story line doesn't come easily to them.

But, about halfway through they started getting into it. The cusp of the teenage girl of course got into the part where all the girls were calling CB a "stupid blockhead" but that's because she's on the cusp of being a teenage girl.

But, man, when Linus kills the lights and stands in the spotlight to quote from the Book of Luke, WOW! I sTILL get the lump in my throat.

Good job, Mr. Schultz, and God bless you!


Seriously, once I considered compiling a Christmas Reader with all the "must-have" Christmas stories, and then I realized if I ever did, I'd need to make it a multimedia event, or at least just have it include this DVD.


Now that I think of it - I'd have to have it include "A Christmas Story" as well.

I need to show that to the kids . . . see what they think of it.


I'll be back . . .
