When Charlie Brown complains about the overwhelming materialism that he sees amongst everyone during the Christmas season, Lucy suggests that he become director of the school Christmas pageant. Charlie Brown accepts, but it is a frustrating struggle. When an attempt to restore the proper spirit with a forlorn little fir Christmas tree fails, he needs Linus' help to learn the meaning of Christmas.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gently melancholic meditation on commercialism and meaning dressed up as a Christmas special for kids. It finds profound sweetness in disappointment and small gestures of care.

Reviews
I saved my favorites for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. 🎄
I love this so much that I own multiple jigsaw puzzles of its iconic moments.
