As I was flipping through the channels looking for a good Christmas show to watch, I noticed something. All of the shows were entertaining. They were cute and cuddly, and ended with a Merry Christmas. But I also noticed this: out of all these Christmas shows, very few mentioned Jesus. Need I remind the general public that the first six letters in "Christmas" do in fact spell out CHRIST?
In a world where Christians are hushed, forced to keep their beliefs quiet, and even told that they need to keep said beliefs out of a holiday that quite obviously is in fact based on Jesus Christ himself...we can find relief from this oppression within a show we had all along: A Charlie Brown Christmas. This loveable Christmas cartoon has been around for decades, and like so many of the others, it can be enjoyed by adults and children alike. But what I really love about this show is the fact that through all the comedy and chaos, the true meaning of Christmas is spoken.
Sure, Santa is jolly. And yes, Rudolph is cute. But Jesus, our Savior, who died for us at Calvary, was born on Christmas day, and if you ask me, this is a much more meaningful reason to celebrate.
Merry Christmas and God Bless You All!

Excellent post! We "Tivo'd" A Charlie Brown Christmas this year and have watched it a couple of times now. I agree with your assessment of the culture's silencing of the true meaning of Christmas. And I am so glad that they continue to show A Charlie Brown Christmas on TV.
Thanks again for your great post. Keep up the great work!
