At the beginning of the classic animation A Charlie Brown Christmas, directed by Bill Melendez and based on Charles Schulz's comic strip, Charlie Brown is having doubts about the holiday season.

In a passionate monologue, Linus explains what Christmas is really all about.

The kids try to catch snowflakes on their tongues, and Linus once again proves to be wise beyond his years.

Charlie Brown and Linus have been instructed by Lucy to find a Christmas tree for a play they are going to put on, so they go searching for one.
