It's The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show .

My school term paper is to be about my most interesting Christmas.

Let's see. I guess it would have to be last Christmas.

Everything started out normally last December,

just before our Christmas vacation.

I don't want you to give me anything for Christmas this year, Linus.

Really?

That's too bad, but I can understand how you feel, and I admire you for it.

Cancel that order for the $10,000 necklace.

After the holidays are over and everything has quieted,

I'm gonna slug you!

Hello, Chuck. This is Peppermint Patty.

Hi.

Our school gets out early for Christmas vacation,

so I may come to visit you.

That would be great.

I'm making out my Christmas card list, Chuck,

and I wanted to know your address so I could surprise you with a card.

That's great. Nobody ever sends me a Christmas card.

But come to think of it, Chuck, now the surprise is gone, isn't it?

So, I'll just send your card to someone else.

So, I guess I won't need your address. Forget I called, Chuck.

Everyone started to write to Santa early.

Dear Joe Claus…

His name is Santa, not Joe.

I didn't think that looked right.

Dear…

I hear someone on our roof.

Do you think it could be Santa and his reindeer?

Sally, its still three weeks before Christmas.

I'm afraid it's just the TV repairman.

That's even better.

Listen, there's all kinds of noise on the roof.

Quick, Big Brother, we've got to get our stockings up.

But it's way too early.

We can't take any chances.

So, everything was pretty normal until the last week of school.

And then Lucy had to come up with that "great" idea of hers.

I've just been put in charge of the school Christmas play.

It's going to be at the ice rink.

Oh, no!

Now, we've only got a few days to get ready.

I will be the star,

and I will do a skating number with the costar of my choice.

Well, I'm not skating with you.

That is correct.

Well, that's a relief.

As a matter of fact, I signed you up to sing "Jingle Bells."

You what?

I can't sing! You know that!

I never have been able to sing!

Learn!

I've also called Peppermint Patty and Marcie,

and they're going to join us.

They'll prepare a Christmas play.

Oh, boy, oh, boy! I wanna be in the play too.

Can I call them?

You handle that yourself.

We'll have Schroeder provide the music and…

Hey, Lucy, what do I get to do?

You have to raise money to pay for the props, Charlie Brown.

Money? How can I raise money?

Learn!

What are you doing, Big Brother?

The only I way I could think of to raise money quickly

was to sell Christmas wreaths from door-to-door.

Can I come with you?

Sure, if you'll be quiet.

Of course, I'll be quiet.

Good morning.

Ask your mom if she'd like to buy a Christmas wreath.

Tell her they were made from the famous forests of Lebanon.

You can read about them

in the second chapter of the second book of Chronicles.

If you buy two, we'll throw in an autographed photo of King Solomon.

You can't tell people these wreaths were made from the forest of Lebanon.

That's not telling the truth.

Good morning, would you like to buy a Christmas wreath

made from some junky old branches my brother found in a Christmas tree lot?

See, your way doesn't work either.

No one wants a wreath. I'm going to fail again.

Why does Lucy put all this pressure on us?

I think we need better packaging.

We need a better way to show off our product.

Good morning, would you like to buy a Christmas wreath?

You sold a wreath? I'll go make some more.

Sure. You need to get their attention.

But I think we can do even better.

Good morning, would you be interested in a three for one sale?

Okay, you stupid beagle, come with me.

Hey! What are you doing?

I need a skating partner for the Christmas show,

and Snoopy's it.

Hiya, gang.

Hey, Lucy, I wanna play Mary in the Christmas play, okay?

I told you, sir, I spoke to Lucy and Sally already,

and they said I could play Mary.

But Mary never wore glasses.

Don't be a sore sport, sir.

Then what part do I get?

The only part that's left is one of the sheep.

The sheep?

Why are you complaining?

I've been given only one word to say. "Hark."

A sheep?

Come on, beagle, I can't waste anymore time around here.

We have to practice.

I wonder what routine we should skate.

Okay, now we'd better practice our lifts.

We'll circle the ice once, and you'll lift me up in the air.

Okay, now prepare to lift me up.

Watch out! Watch out!

Maybe the star of the Christmas show doesn't need to be lifted.

And then came the day of the Christmas show.

Backstage was a disaster.

We start in a few minutes, Charlie Brown.

If your stupid beagle doesn't show up, I'll pound you.

But it's not my fault. I don't know where he is.

Charlie Brown, don't let her do this to me.

I can't sing. I'll pass out.

But Linus…

I hope you're satisfied, Chuck.

Look what your friends did to me. They made me a sheep.

And besides, you know Mary didn't wear glasses.

But I…

But you look cute in your costume, sir.

Sure, Marcie, sure.

Let them hear your line, sir.

Bah!

Bah, humbug, sir!

I'll get you for this, Marcie.

And you too, Chuck!

But I…

Big Brother, I can't remember my one word. What is it?

Oh, gee, I…

Quick, quick! What is it?

Gee, Sally, I don't know.

I remember! When the sheep are through dancing…

I'm gonna get you for this, Chuck!

…I come out and say, "Hark!"

Then Harold Angel starts to sing.

Harold Angel?

The curtain's going up.

Why are you letting them do this to me, Big Brother?

You must hate me.

Okay, beagle, we're first.

We're going to show them what skating is all about.

What's the matter?

Don't get stage fright on me now.

Come back here, you coward!

What do you mean you're sending your understudy?

I'm not gonna skate with a stupid bird.

There's the sheep. That's my cue. What was that word?

Oh, yeah. Hockey stick!

Hockey stick?

Bah!

Quick, Linus, sing!

I'd like to say a few words

about how programs like this can ruin a child's holiday

by causing worries and…

Sing, you blockhead!

Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun…

The school newspaper called it the strangest Christmas play ever.

And that's the most interesting Christmas I can remember.

The end.

What have you been doing, Big Brother?

Writing about last year's Christmas play.

You mean when you let me make a fool of myself with the wrong word?

Well, I…

And when you let me say Harold Angel, and then everyone laughed at me.

Well, yes, I…

Big brothers are supposed to protect little sisters

from making fools of themselves.

Well, it's not my fault you get things all wrong.

Hello, are you Sally?
