This is a classic christmas recording. The music is itself very enjoyable, but the thing that makes this special is, of course, that this was the music from the first animated Peanuts television special. A Charlie Brown Christmas is something that we try to watch every year. Its timeless commentary on the meaning of Christmas is welcome anew each time we hear Linus recite the story of the shepherds and the angels. And even when we don't see the video, we see it in our mind's eye when we hear this wonderful music that has become (IMHO) an icon of Christmas in America.
