I am a product of television and pop culture, having spent innumerable hours as a child glued to the tube. It was in many ways a classroom where I picked up many details about the outside world that didn’t seem to exist in my world at the time. That may be a sad commentary but luckily, when I was growing up, many shows had moral compasses and had lessons to teach through their humor. Shows like The Andy Griffith Show come to mind.
Well, a great part of TV watching as a kid were the Christmas specials and since today marks the start of the season I thought I’d show a clip from one of my favorites, one that started when I was a kid and one that I try to catch every year. Great music, great story and the greatest characters– It’s a Charlie Brown Christmas.

Nice post. Thanks for sharing….
Thanks for the post. Two of my favorites. I can watch Andy Griffith reruns all day and you are right about the moral compass – there’s not anything on the Tube these days that is so funny and wholesome. As silly as it may sound, Andy was like a father to me. The Charlie Brown specials were the best. Pure enjoyment with a biting commentary on the commercialization of the holidays. Linus puts it all into perspective.
Nice blog too.
