Favorite Movie #109 - Holiday Edition: a Charlie Brown Christmas

Favorite movies that have had an impact on me - #109 - A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) - Like many, I grew up on this "true meaning of Christmas" classic. It may also have been the first pop culture example that I saw that equated the Christmas season with depression. The animation stays close to Charles M. Schulz's signature comic strip style and the music by Vince Guaraldi was memorable and delightful.

Fun fact:
"The popularity of the special practically eliminated the popularity of the aluminum Christmas tree, which was a fad from 1958 to 1965, when the special portrayed it negatively. By 1967, just two years after the special first aired, they were no longer being regularly manufactured." — courtesy of Wikipedia
