Description：

Peanuts creator Charles Schulz had his first cartoon series published at the age of 25.  Entitled Li’l Folks, it featured a character named Charlie Brown. When the syndicate opted not to renew the strip, Schulz developed a new one, named Peanuts, which debuted on October 2, 1950 in seven newspapers.

Schulz’ comic strip Peanuts had become a worldwide phenomenon by the mid-60s.  After the Peanuts gang was pictured on the cover of Time Magazine, Coca-Cola commissioned a Christmas special starring the characters.

A Charlie Brown Christmas was written and animated in just six months.  The script was simple, sparse, and heavily influenced by Schulz’ background.  Deeply religious, he wanted to focus on what he believed the “true meaning of Christmas” to be.  Schulz then added secular themes taken from his Minnesota childhood, including a school play, falling snow, and ice-skating.

A Charlie Brown Christmas was also ground- breaking in its biblical references.  When executives tried to talk Schulz out of them, he replied, “If we don’t do it, who will?”  As it turned out, Linus’ recitation from the Gospel of Luke is considered one of the most powerful moments in the film.

A Charlie Brown Christmas went on to earn an Emmy and a Peabody Award and has become a holiday tradition for millions of Americans
