(a yellow dotted bowl I made with two spotted dogs)
I have heard that 'The Charlie Brown Christmas Special' is on CBS at 8 in America this evening. No TV in this house, but somebody put the whole thing on youtube, and here is a short clip from the end (the added text is a little preachy).
Well, let's talk Charles Schultz, Snoopy and me. Charles Schultz was a creative but modest person, and what he drew was deceptively simple. What this potter and sculptor has learned is the amount of expression you convey with a line and a dot, small details that give something character. I love Snoopy, and I think this program is my favorite of all.

Would you say Woodstock is the free spirit?

I am on a friend's computer, so I can comment---YAY!!!!
I like the Charlie Brown Christmas show also---but my all time favorite is "Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer" with the felt and clay-type animation---and my favorite character is Yukon Conelius. :)
Er, I mean CORnelius.
I distinctly remember the first time I watched Rudolf. The Snowmonster scared the crap out of me ... Whew, he was scary for a 5-year-old.
Oh yeah, the guy with the big teeth i think it was. But that old-fashioned black and white 'Scrooge' movie, those chains, all the rest, SPOOKY! I love that story, as good as the movies are, the book, of course, is far better.
Charlie Brown is the only Christmas show we ever watched and it was good - though I always think it is highly edited to make the time frame.
Charlie Brown is such a Gen X program....the angst, the scraggly tree, and it came out around 67, just as we were dreaming of our own overstuffed stockings.
Is there a Complete Charlie Brown book to be had anywhere at any cost?
I had one from the library, the Christmas special that is, and own a couple of Charles Schultz peanuts treasuries.
I haven't seen one, but I thikn I'm going to order the Complete Calvin & Hobbes for myself for Christmas.
Alan, there is.
I hope Santa is good to gordo and Alan....
