pastel pumpkinz My teacher did the same thing. In 5th grade, my teacher put on Charlie Brown Christmas and Elf. It was such a nice way to start off winter break. We also did a mystery drawing where we colored squares and it will reveal a picture. I love being a child around Christmas.
I love this...I’m now nearing the end of my life ...life was simple and we enjoyed Christmas and watching Charlie Brown on a black and white TV waiting for Santa.
I'm glad you had a happy life sir.I dont know you but I want to say God bless you.I hope you live your last few days loved and happy.I hope you can make it to christmas one last time

I am a 4th grade teacher. One year I played this movie for my class. What was supposed to be a fun event turned a different direction. One of young girl in the class was in tears. I asked her what was wrong. She said that song reminded her of her grandma who recently passed. Bless your Heart Olive!
Not even joking when I say this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard. I get chills when I hear this. Makes me want to shed a tear. Favorite Christmas song by far.
Born in 1955 AM all alone now as all my immediate family and unfortunately most of my friends have passed away. However at the moment I hear those children sing I am instantly transported back to around 1966 or 1967 when all my family and friends were alive and we were children growing up. It is as if my voice is among those of the children singing and it captures a moment in time that provides me happiness. Peace.
@@SandraGarcia-jh5kc I remember '62, We lived in an alley, The Salvation Army gave my 2 brothers and I Military guns with caps. I took them to school every day. We were dirt poor. I'm 69. My dad was in Prison. Our Christmas tree was a 2ft. tree my mother bought at TG and Y Department store. I'll never forget this song.
The saddest happy song you will ever here. That's what Christmas is, a time to reflect and enjoy yet knowing these moments are fleeting. Love this song
Yeah, there is something so beautiful about this piece that I get choked up pretty good. Eyes get welty and I always have a wave of nostalgia gut punch me a good one. Honestly its my favorite song ever. Always has been too, even though I'm not the biggest Xmas fan, I love this song. I think because it sounds very "pure" and not over done in anyway. Other Christmas songs I really can't stand but this just always makes me feel so peaceful and makes me reflect on times when I was much younger. :)
I know exactly what u mean ma’am. I’m 66, it’s been 2 & a bit yrs since my beautiful parents departed. I know it’s a rite of passage .. but Charlie Brown & Co elicits such bitter sweet nostalgia 4 better times .. Christmas & festive gatherings with Mom, Pop, my sisters & favourite Aunts/Uncles🎄🍾🌟
I bought a vhs tap at the shell gas station the day after this show aid on ABC. I am 73 years old. But it still puts me in the mood 4 Christmas. Merry Christmas everyone. God bless...😊
My mother age 92 a pianist just passed away in Sept. I was blesses to have a father a pro pianist and mom as well. They entertained so many and in our home. I'm missing her play this holiday season and dad has been gone almost 20 years. She played the 2 days before her passing, age 92!! She could tickle those ivories until she left us. Dixieland gospal and roaring 20's were what they played and raised us to. We were blessed. Thought i would send a song or to up to her letting her know how much i love her and miss her. Going down memory lane with mom louise❤❤🎹🙌
My Condolences !! Have a Blessed and Peacefull Christmas If you need , what is helping me threw my parents death is UA-cams from Bill Webster Grief Speaker
My Mother passed back in 03 I hear this and think of her cooking in the kitchen making holiday dinner and desserts, and from the comments, I see I am not alone feeling holidays are just not the same. I am sure like many of you we try to keep traditions going for our kids cause that is what our parents would have wanted us to do. So to all of you reading this Happy Holidays and God Bless you and your families. Stay Safe Stay Blessed.
I DONT KNOW IF WE HAVE ANY TRADITIONS, I KNOW IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS,WHEN MY DAD WAS AROUND, WE WOULD GO TO CHURCH ⛪ ON CHRISTMAS EVE NIGHT AND THAT WAS KIND OF FUN THEN WE WOULD COME HOME FROM CHURCH ⛪ ON CHRISTMAS EVE NIGHT, TO SEE EVERYBODY ELSE AT OUR HOUSE, AND BEING THAT EVERYBODY IN OUR FAMILY IS GETTING OLDER,PROBABLY DONT NEED AS MUCH, BUT WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER AND SMALLER, WE HAD ALL KINDS OF CHRISTMAS GIFTS AND OR PRESENTS, AND THAT WAS FUN,
Whenever I hear this I think of my mom… during the holidays she used sit down me and watch them on CBS (8:00am-8:30pm lol). It was a happier time, I miss her
This song touches people's souls! It captures the Christmas spirit in such a innocent time when we were children! We all grew up listening to this song! Its wonderful to be alive! Thank you God for the gift of life and thank you Jesus for going to the cross and opening up the gates of Heaven for us sinners!
I'm still 14, but I read many of these comments from people far older than me, and I still recognize the timelessness of these films. I still believe that these Charlie Brown specials will be watched for the next 100 years, solely because of the music and identity they have. I think that If a child born in 2006 and a child born in 1956 can still get the same enjoyment out of these, they are truly perfect.
@@rarrodrig4703 It's amazing how this transcends generations. I've been rewatching them all, listening to the music, playing it on the piano, and enjoying the atmosphere they bring. I love charlie brown too
Man I was born in 2005, I’m 18 now and I remember watching these movies every Christmas time as a kid… it’s so nostalgic even for me. I can’t imagine what it would feel like to someone older than me
My sweet mother, miss you more this time of year mother, and I would always wonder where Pig Pen would find all that dirt on a snowy day, lol. Rest in peace my sweet mother who always some how found a way to make all our Christmas wonderful with limited funds. That's Christmas to me. The Precious Memories
Charlie Brown Christmas is my most favorite show of all. I am a 64 yr. old "Man" , growing up we cut a few wild trees for Christmas and my 3 sisters and 2 brothers said our tree started out looking like a Charlie Brown tree but when it was all decorated ,it would be prettier than the one the year before. The show has such a great story and brings attention to the birth of our Saviour Jesus Christ . It shows love and joy and being thankful. I watch the show every Christmas
I remember our last Chrissie 2gether; Mom managed 2 make that magic cheesecake one more time, the pudding was up 4 serving & I etched every second of that 2 memory. Sept Pop went. End Oct Mom followed. There was still pudding left over. Then I set about 2 faithfully settle their affairs. I hope the true spirit of Christmas comforts anyone who’s hurting🎄🌟
Born in 1964 and literally grew up with this. A few years ago I realized again how embedded this beautiful music is my psyche. I love this album and each year it reminds us of the beauty nostalgia and yes melancholy of the season. I miss my dearly departed parents and siblings and loved one. Cherish your family and loved ones everyone. Peace on Earth and Good Will to mankind
A Charlie Brown Christmas brings me back to so many memories when I was a kid. When times were simple, and we didn't have all the stress we have now, and no cell phones, and AI! What a beautiful time to 70's and 80's were. I miss those days!
Me too. My dad, mom and sister sitting watching it. My dad died in 1999, mom in 2003 and my sister in 2016. I'm the only one left. So sad. But I put this music on and it helps me.

So soothing. Really takes me back to my childhood and Christmas time as far back as 40 years (I'm 45). It just gives me that same feeling. I get the same feelings when I hear Burl Ives singing those classics from the Rudolph movie. It's funny, the older you get the more you appreciate certain things.
GoldenEra 4ever this is really expiring to sometimes because it is not about presents it's about family and friends and getting together just like any other holiday just makes me cry sometimes
It almost seems it was written and recorded with Nostalgia in mind - not just for those in it's current initial time but for those in the future who happen upon it or rediscover it.
My absolute favorite... I never get "that Christmas feeling" until I see / hear this wonderful song...im 65 years old and it remains my favorite Christmas tune.... just beautiful..I tear up every single time
It ain’t Christmas time until this song is played. You know “A Charlie Brown Christmas “ is on tv. Sitting down in front of the television. Don’t bother me now. The phone will be ringing off the wall. Call me back later.
I'm disabled have epilepsy and near the end of my life as well.. I would play this on a loop for eternity. Life is never fair. And history repeats itself. All the good old days gone. Sad forever..
Of all the Christmas songs out there, this is my favorite. I was born in '62, maybe somewhere down in my subconscious this song strikes all the right cords. Happy Holidays everybody!
My great great great grandmother Nancy Brown, would be so proud of her great great grandson for Making that heart-felt comment... Merry Christmas everyone !!!!
I'm 16 and I'm the only one who enjoys it anymore when the teacher puts on Charlie Brown holiday specials...how times have changed since I was a little kid
There's probably others who enjoy it too, but who wish they could have the courage to let people know. Kids put so much effort into trying to pretend they don't like anything that they think others will think is kids stuff. But when you're grown-up inside enough, you can start remembering, and telling people again how much you love, and always loved this kind of thing. This is actually a very sophisticated and musically artistic, jazz inspired tune. At least I think it is mostly jazz. This is not the ABC song, not that there's anything wrong with that song either. But tell them this song is something they'll be able to appreciate more as they get older. And sounds like you're already there. Almost all the people who are appreciating this song here, are adults. And almost all would love to go back to their youth for a day, a week, or in some cases, forever. Knowing what they know NOW of course, lol.
Still nostalgic for me every year, now I'm 45 year young in 2023, but always took me back when i was 3rd grade; all kids and families gathering around for Christmas.....
51 yrs old from the Bronx . I was playing this in the car yesterday , I got to the light and there was a bus stop adjacent from me . Everyone and I mean everyone just nodded there heads in sync . I felt like I did some good yesterday
Ruben Figueroa yea but we’re growing to adults too and life is changing in many aspects though this song help us feel and remember when life was not so much about responsibility when it was still simple, peaceful, curious, fun, & remembering the Christmas as a whole family if that hadn’t change yet☃️
This song makes me cry because it brings me back to the times when I was a kid and celebrated almost every Christmas with my grandmother, she absolutely loved that time of year, when me and my siblings were younger she would always tell us what the true meaning of Christmas was, and told some of my neighbours too, she always sang songs with my mom in the kitchen during the Christmas period, but when she died a part of my Christmas died too, and this year would be the first Christmas we celebrate since she died.
We were raised very poor so anything like watching t.v., and listening to or watching, Christmas programs made our time seem RICH - And you know, I am almost 70 and KNOW that it is people and not 'things' that make the Holidays so great -
Miss Rachel, for some reason, this song always reminds me to rinse my eyes too! I've loved this music and special for almost 50 years now. God bless you and yours, have a wonderful and meaningful Christmas filled with love and joy.
"Oh, that we could always see Such spirit through the year." As often as I've listened to this song, I never paid attention to these words until lately. What a message of hope! I'm just grateful that such a world will come in the Kingdom of God!
This piece is sooo relaxing. I'm 60 and I love this as much as I did when I was a child. May you all have a Charlie Brown Holiday season, and peace fill your life.
I lost my mom in April. She was the best mother, gave us the most magical holiday experiences ever and this song brings it all back to my childhood days of my siblings watching Charlie Brown Christmas...I miss her every second of every day 😢❤
This song really sums up the feeling of Christmas for me. It's sung by children yet uses sophisticated chords. And it is celebratory, as Christmas should be, but sad at the same time. Many of us have lost people and think of them around this time. And some of us also live far away from home and so the emotions are not simple ones. Anyway, this Ohioan is happy to hear this on Christmas eve today in Japan.
Thank you for posting this sir. And absolutely beautiful song. I'm not ashamed to say as a grown man at 46 I actually get choked up hearing this. Takes me back to a simpler time in my childhood. When you didn't have a care in the world,and the stress of living life as an adult was years away. Now in my middle age,life is different,loved ones have passed on,but hearing music like this takes you back to that innocent time in your life, when the world just seemed like a better place.
This song brings back the memories I made at school on the last day before Christmas break. We used to come to school in our pajamas, watch movies, eat snacks, and do Christmas parties and so many fun activities. I sure do miss those days.
as an 03’ baby this song j brings me back to when i was a kid this is one of my moms, n my great uncle’s favorite things during christmas. i love christmas i j miss the family that has passed on, the holidays are hard now.
As a retired teacher, I felt it a great compliment when one of the mothers said “ our show reminds me of a Charlie Brown Christmas.” I’m an old bag now and I didn’t realize what that meant until I watched this again. 🥲
This feels like sitting in a classroom as a small kid and eating candy with friends on the day before break and watching movies with a sack lunch
lucky, we have exams on the day before the break
I'm 36 trying to figure out where the fuck the time went.

Does this song put anyone else in a melancholic mood or just me?
You're not alone; I feel the same way.
Definitely! Even when I was a kid. Used to make me feel so bad for Charlie Brown.
yes, it does.
still does
Another sad Christmas song is, "Merry Christmas Darling", by The Carpenters.

GoldenEra 4ever this is really expiring to sometimes because it is not about presents it's about family and friends and getting together just like any other holiday just makes me cry sometimes
so true. I'm 44 & my wife is 41. The memories, so wonderful
Takes me back to the 1st time I heard it and I am 64.
The Nostalgia is strong with this song.
It almost seems it was written and recorded with Nostalgia in mind - not just for those in it's current initial time but for those in the future who happen upon it or rediscover it.
Great song 🎵
My absolute favorite... I never get "that Christmas feeling" until I see / hear this wonderful song...im 65 years old and it remains my favorite Christmas tune.... just beautiful..I tear up every single time
Ur in good company there mate
It isn't Christmas until I hear this song.
Yes Carl yes! me too!
It ain’t Christmas time until this song is played. You know “A Charlie Brown Christmas “ is on tv. Sitting down in front of the television. Don’t bother me now. The phone will be ringing off the wall. Call me back later.
I'm 27 years old and I love this when I was growing up every Christmas I made to look at the special on abc or fox
what a beautiful song. it brings me back to that magical place called youth, innocence and joy.
Michael Tilker yep 👍🏿 innocence 👍🏿
Me too. I remember watching the Peanuts Christmas Special with my parents. My Dad loved the Peanuts. Makes me melancholy when I hear this.
❤This is my mother's Xmas song cause she always had us decking the house for holidays, miss u Mom.
I don't know why but this song makes me feel sad. Maybe because I miss my parents.
Same here. Days of love, bewilderment, and comfort
I see you, Mike! ❤️
I'm with you, me too
Rest in peace to all the brothers and fallen Soldiers deceased God bless and happy holidays, merry Christmas.
Your not alone I lost mine older sister mine bother
Sometimes my feelings are too much to bear. I miss being safe and young.
I love this song so much! I NEVER get sick and tired of it.❤🎄❤️
Me to:)
@@tbong9293 too
I'm disabled have epilepsy and near the end of my life as well.. I would play this on a loop for eternity. Life is never fair. And history repeats itself. All the good old days gone. Sad forever..
Of all the Christmas songs out there, this is my favorite. I was born in '62, maybe somewhere down in my subconscious this song strikes all the right cords. Happy Holidays everybody!
I'm 55 and this song saddens me because all the people I lost within the last 5 yrs are physically not with me anymore..my heart aches ...
I feel you. Time and life sucks.
Why do I cry everytime I hear this??? Peace n love to all the lil Peanuts out there. The Bad Guy...
Ditto here! Blessings to all.
😢😢😢 me too thinking about not having my mom who passed this year on father's day and my brother got killed 😢😢😢😢awsome song
Just awful. Sorry for your losses.
Me too bro😔
@@jamaranthony861 sorry about your loss :'( hang in there and become the person your mom and brother would be proud of.
Nostalgia 100%, my favorite Christmas Song and Movie." It's not what's under the Christmas tree that matters, It's who's around it"-Charlie Brown.
My great great great grandmother
Nancy Brown, would be so proud
of her great great grandson for
Making that heart-felt comment...
Merry Christmas everyone !!!!
I am 72 years old and I never tire of listing to this song either. It's Christmas mood and sensation for me.
Hi random person scrolling through the comments!
You’re so beautiful! Keep trying your best!!
Mary Renner
Bless you, & thanks! 😉
Mary Renner. You have a beautiful soul. Thanks so very much.🙂
Mary Renner Thanks. Needed this.
What a sweet thing to say! God Bless you.
You made the rest of my day after a rough one!! Same to you!
This song is classic. I never get tired of it. Sounds just as good today as it did over 50 years ago
Memories doesn't get any better than this.
very true
Not even Christmas time yet, but something brought me here✨
I'm 16 and I'm the only one who enjoys it anymore when the teacher puts on Charlie Brown holiday specials...how times have changed since I was a little kid
There's probably others who enjoy it too, but who wish they could have the courage to let people know. Kids put so much effort into trying to pretend they don't like anything that they think others will think is kids stuff.
But when you're grown-up inside enough, you can start remembering, and telling people again how much you love, and always loved this kind of thing.
This is actually a very sophisticated and musically artistic, jazz inspired tune. At least I think it is mostly jazz. This is not the ABC song, not that there's anything wrong with that song either. But tell them this song is something they'll be able to appreciate more as they get older. And sounds like you're already there.
Almost all the people who are appreciating this song here, are adults. And almost all would love to go back to their youth for a day, a week, or in some cases, forever. Knowing what they know NOW of course, lol.
Id rather die than listen to modern music. Right here is home for me
Always remember what Linus tells us and Charlie Brown at the end and You will have hope and peace.✌
aha. in my ap classes everyone begins dancing or singing when they hear charlie brown
Man makes me pumped for Christmas only 6 more months
Still nostalgic for me every year, now I'm 45 year young in 2023, but always took me back when i was 3rd grade; all kids and families gathering around for Christmas.....
Hearing this music and reading the comments, pure "Nostalgia"
51 yrs old from the Bronx . I was playing this in the car yesterday , I got to the light and there was a bus stop adjacent from me . Everyone and I mean everyone just nodded there heads in sync . I felt like I did some good yesterday
Im 42 and will always remember watching this with mom n dad. I hope the children today have the same memories years from now.
Ruben Figueroa yea but we’re growing to adults too and life is changing in many aspects though this song help us feel and remember when life was not so much about responsibility when it was still simple, peaceful, curious, fun, & remembering the Christmas as a whole family if that hadn’t change yet☃️
This song makes me cry because it brings me back to the times when I was a kid and celebrated almost every Christmas with my grandmother, she absolutely loved that time of year, when me and my siblings were younger she would always tell us what the true meaning of Christmas was, and told some of my neighbours too, she always sang songs with my mom in the kitchen during the Christmas period, but when she died a part of my Christmas died too, and this year would be the first Christmas we celebrate since she died.
Wonderful share. Thank you kesenaememere8520.
I remember singing this in first grade for a winter concert. Brb Ima go cry
We were raised very poor so anything like watching t.v., and listening to or watching, Christmas programs made our time seem RICH - And you know, I am almost 70 and KNOW that it is people and not 'things' that make the Holidays so great -
The greatest Christmas song ever written? It captures the innocence perfectly.
It makes me cry at 62 at all the Christmases I’ve missed with my family
this song makes me wanna ugly cry, i miss my childhood
Makes me feel happy and sad at the same time 😢❤ miss you grandma
Sorry for your loss. It’s been 5 years for me.
May she rest in heaven ❤
It’s not Christmas until we see A Charlie Brown’s Christmas.
It's always Christmas with this song. Memories from 1965. Never miss this one yearly
I'm 60 yrs old. Remember watching in the 60s. Memories! Merry Christmas everyone! 🎅🎄🎋🎍
same here Annie! First watched this when I was 5 years old back in 1965!
Memories of when I was a kid, Aloha from Honolulu, Hawaii.
To think that 3 instrumentalists could come up with such a gorgeous sound. I love the Vince Guaraldi Trio.
Boy I do miss you Mom & Pop and my brother Steve...always Mark
Im 32 and me and my mother (RIP Angel) use to watch this every year!! Its September but i had to hear it for some reason ❤❤❤
This is absolutely my favorite Christmas song
Ikr!
This song always makes me cry anyone else? It's just so pretty ❤🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
Miss Rachel, for some reason, this song always reminds me to rinse my eyes too! I've loved this music and special for almost 50 years now. God bless you and yours, have a wonderful and meaningful Christmas filled with love and joy.
Yes, me too...
Me too! Like right now. I miss you Mom! I miss you Dad!

I’m 50, love this every year when I was a kid, makes me a little sad now.
It reminds me of my youth when everything was so magical and everybody was here a house full of love.

I just lost it. Cried like a little kid.
Hearing this song will get your innocence back. Really needed to hear this song. I love the peanuts.
"Oh, that we could always see Such spirit through the year." As often as I've listened to this song, I never paid attention to these words until lately. What a message of hope! I'm just grateful that such a world will come in the Kingdom of God!
Great words for sure!
Deborah, I wish you peace and love this season.
Yesss! You are so right!!! 🙏💖🙏
I am but a very poor servant but a super Amen to that ma’am
YESSSSSSSSSS ☺️☺️☺️💛💛🇺🇸💛💛
This piece is sooo relaxing. I'm 60 and I love this as much as I did when I was a child. May you all have a Charlie Brown Holiday season, and peace fill your life.
It's just about fall (9/20/24), and 4:37 am. I'm up and I wanted to hear this song ❤.
Me too , it bring back fun memories as a child
I lost my mom in April. She was the best mother, gave us the most magical holiday experiences ever and this song brings it all back to my childhood days of my siblings watching Charlie Brown Christmas...I miss her every second of every day 😢❤
Memories of Christmas. Thank you Charlie Brown.
The magic of Vince Guraldi and The Vienna Boys Choir.
It wasn’t the Vienna Boys Choir. It was members is the choir at St Paul’s Episcopal Church in San Rafael Ca. Marin County. I was one of them
I love Charlie Brown at Christmas time 😍 !!!! Thanks for the memories Charles Shultz, so talented RIP!! We will never forget you!!!
I remember watching this in Afghanistan in 2010, made me tear up
This song makes me cry... I've forgotten this song for 30 yrs.....
This song really sums up the feeling of Christmas for me. It's sung by children yet uses sophisticated chords. And it is celebratory, as Christmas should be, but sad at the same time. Many of us have lost people and think of them around this time. And some of us also live far away from home and so the emotions are not simple ones. Anyway, this Ohioan is happy to hear this on Christmas eve today in Japan.
amen, 'drew !
Thank you for posting this sir. And absolutely beautiful song. I'm not ashamed to say as a grown man at 46 I actually get choked up hearing this. Takes me back to a simpler time in my childhood. When you didn't have a care in the world,and the stress of living life as an adult was years away. Now in my middle age,life is different,loved ones have passed on,but hearing music like this takes you back to that innocent time in your life, when the world just seemed like a better place.
You're welcome, Chris, and thank you for your comments!
This song brings back the memories I made at school on the last day before Christmas break. We used to come to school in our pajamas, watch movies, eat snacks, and do Christmas parties and so many fun activities. I sure do miss those days.
Brings back memories...when people really cared for each other praying we get back to that. Thank you Jesus!
as an 03’ baby this song j brings me back to when i was a kid this is one of my moms, n my great uncle’s favorite things during christmas. i love christmas i j miss the family that has passed on, the holidays are hard now.
I hear you! I love this song and it’s just me and my daughter left for family. I wish you cherished memories of your loved ones.
As a retired teacher, I felt it a great compliment when one of the mothers said “ our show reminds me of a Charlie Brown Christmas.” I’m an old bag now and I didn’t realize what that meant until I watched this again. 🥲
This song is so good.It's peaceful... Relaxing almost.
Hearing this makes me think of the last time I really smiled.
