To start off with I give this one a 68% rating, I rate the Great Pumpkin 85% and The Christmas Special 80%. This one is also good, but it does not quite match the other 2 as it's the 3rd in the Charlie Brown Holiday specials, it just does not have the feel that the other 2 had, they were great from start to finish, kept me interested & were funny at times. This one was actually a bit boring in several scenes, it did not have that normal Charlie Brown cute feel all the way through, only at times did I think I was watching something similar to the 1st 2.

Robbins died by suicide January 18th 2022, He was 65, he was replaced at age 14 as he did his last Charlie Brown in 1969. Robbins, born Louis G.

Even at the age of 61 I still watch all 3 Charlie Brown Holiday Specials every year as part of our annual Family tradition, it began when I was little, I continued it on with my 4 Kids & grand kids,…

There is some hate behind this for no reason aside from what Lenin said about having to destroy the culture. A lot of culture and traditions have been under attack due to false pretenses lately haven't they?

And then you love it because it has become a generational tradition. In other words it stands the test of time, just like the Thanksgiving pick-up football game stands the test of time. Just like the dinner, and the family affair that it depicts stands the test of time. In other words, it is a timeless and beautiful depiction of our culture and traditions. No wonder people want to destroy it,
