A Charlie Brown Christmas is now as necessary to the Christmas Season as rum in eggnog, but when it was first created it was actually quite controversial. There was no laugh track, the jazzy score was thought over-sophisticated, and there were objections to Linus's recital of the Christmas story from the Gospel of Luke. Thankfully, Charles Schultz trusted his instincts and fought for his choices and has left us this sweet tempered, compact and gloriously un-hyper gem.
