Charlie Brown: I think there must be something wrong with me, Linus. Christmas is coming, but I’m not happy. I don’t feel the way I’m suppose to feel. I just don’t understand Christmas, I guess. I like getting presents, and sending Christmas cards, and decorating trees and all that, but I’m still not happy. I always end up feeling depressed.
Linus: Charlie Brown, you’re the only person I know who could take a wonderful season, like Christmas, and turn it into a problem. Maybe Lucy's right, along with all the Charlie Brown’s in the world, you’re the Charlie Browniest.
I was working C shift at a large University out in a plow truck before Christmas and heard this song on our local Public Radio Station .There was a light snow falling about two in the morning no one around.
I do not believe I had ever heard it before. That time comes back to me each time I hear this, what a memory maker.
When I was in kindergarten ( 1975 ) they played this over the intercom as we left school for Christmas Vacation..... it was snowing, what a great memory.
Even as a child I wondered why this was Christmas music, it has a sad feel to it. I think this is more an adult theme, the melancholy reminds one of Christmas past and the people that are no longer with us that we remember at Christmas time.
This song is perfect for driving in a car to see Christmas lights, enjoying a quiet evening dinner, or just sitting by the tree drinking some eggnog or hot cocoa. Perfect song.
