The sequel from 1965. Possible spoilers
19 December 2002
Warning: Spoilers
This was a sequel of "It's Christmas, Charlie Brown" made in 1993. This one isn't as good, but it's somewhat funnier and lacks the slightly heavy handed message from the original.

It doesn't have a plot; it's more like a set of vignettes from Charles Schulz's comics from the 1980's and early 90's that have to do with Christmas (similar to his Saturday morning cartoon from the 1980's).

Highlights include the great segment on the gang's Passion Play performance where Sally Brown has to say "Hark" and instead says "Hockey Stick" because she saw her brother holding one most of the day before, Charlie Brown wanting to buy a $25 set of gloves for his friend Peggy Jean, and Charlie Brown selling Xmas wreaths. The Sally Brown character is a very dominant character in this one, and honestly, I've always been a Sally Brown mark, so that's why I might like this one more than others; her ditzy behaviour in the comics was always a treat.

All in all, it's not the original, but it's still a good one.
