Trivia
This special was created as a companion piece for the original special, A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) to fill out an hour timeslot so the older special can be broadcast uncut.

Goofs
When Lucy runs to Linus saying she found the word sister in the Bible, only the pages were shown and the book cover is gone. When Lucy gets to Linus, the book cover is there.

Quotes
Sally: I'm addressing Christmas cards. Aren't they cute? Each one has a little bunny on it dressed up like a shepherd. Don't say I'm not religious!

Connections
Followed by Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown (2003)

Sufficient Peanuts Entertainment

I saw this last night on ABC after 1965's Charlie Brown Christmas, so it may be unfair to compare the two, but I will anyway! This special is far from the 1965 classic simply because it really doesn't stand out. The 1965 version tackled issues like commercialization and what Christmas is really all about. This special simply has different segments devoted to different characters (Lucy, Sally, etc) around Christmastime. Don't get me wrong, this special is cute, generates some good laughs (I liked Linus's infatuation with the weird girl that sits behind him), and sticks to the Peanuts formula. It's just not a groundbreaking special, and I doubt it will really ever stand out. It's worth the 30 minutes though, and if you're a Peanuts fan, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

My IMDb rating: 7/10
