I have noticed that several viewers have given this film a low marking because they compare it to the special made in 1965. I say don't watch this one and compare it to A Charlie Brown Christmas. Just sit back and take a break from the other Christmas films that get played over and over again over the Holidays. Snoopy once again, as in all the Peanuts Specials, steals the show. Snoopy with the candy canes, as the Santa Claus, and putting the gloves to good use is priceless. Who can forget Sally only having to say "Hark" for her single line of the Christmas play and blowing it? Also, Pepper Mint Patty's question about Mary wearing glasses is a nice touch all because she's angry about being a sheep. In the end leave it to Linus to put the finishing touches on this treat, "Joy To The World!" Charles Shultz and Charlie Brown do not fail in this film. Watch this one and the original around the time Christmas rolls around. You'll be in for a treat for children and adults as well. Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and our friend Charles Shultz make Christmas more enjoyable.
