Nothing Revolutionary....

But how cool if we could find our WAY to one.

One of My Favorite Things: Charlie Brown Christmas

I am apathetic to the holiday season this year. This does not mean though that I do not want to ignore one those touch stone texts in my life: A Charlie Brown Christmas. I missed the viewings of it on the TV. I have it on VHS somewhere but have not taken the time to look for it. Thankfully, because of the beauty of books, I still get to revisit those memories:



Has a making of the cartoon, sheet music (if only I could perform it), and a fully illustrated script. I remember when I was a kid standing in the living room after the freshly cut (we cut our own each year) tree, the smell, the cold coming off the branches, the crackle sound as the branches settle, and the beauty of the tree before it was loaded with lights, garland, ornaments, and tinsel--at these moments I always thought of Charlie Brown and would "sing" "Oh Christmas Tree."



Made for an enjoyable read this morning. No "good grief" being uttered here.
