everytime Linus reads from the Bible about the true meaning of Christmas in the auditorium, I get a tingle in my spine and a warm feeling in my heart. BTW, that reminds me, had to pull a 12 hour day yesterday but taped "Peanuts," I got to watch it

Good thing you taped it. It is only a matter of time before that scene gets cut from the original.

I remember when I was in grade school, when Christmas came close, we let up a bit and watch some Christmas specials on a Sony 1 inch format video tape recorder (reel-to-reel) hooked up to a 1960's 21 inch, vacuum-tubed, Setchell-Carlson TV specially made for schools. Ome of those specials was "Chatlie Brown's Christmas" and everything was included, even the reference in the Bible. Of course the PC Crowd handn't gotten its tenticles too deep into the schools at that time, I'm talking 1972-79 when I was in the grade school system counting the transitional pre-1st grade I was in being held back a year. Crap, Michael Newdow would go ape-crazy over it.



Was bumming around the net, this was the TV we watched it on in my school days, I remember the teachers always put the TV on "standby" to keep the tubes warm.
