The 'Charlie Brown Christmas' was the first ever comic prime time animation television serial based on the comic strip ‘Peanuts’ by Charles M. Schultz. The series directed by Bill Melendez recreated the magic of X-Mas. Charlie Brown the protagonist expresses his discontent and depression to a friend during a skating session. He feels upset with the activities in his immediate neighborhood and doesn’t really feel the excitement of Christmas. That is when he visits the character Lucy’s psychiatric booth and she advises him to engage himself in positive activity by getting involved in a nativity play for his school.
On his way to the auditorium Charlie Brown sees his dog Snoopy busy decorating his home, all set to welcome Christmastide. He feels doubly upset with the growing commercialization and feels the need to do something to stop it. In fact when he begins to direct the school play his friends insist on having song and party scenes whereas he is more interested in maintaining the solemnity of the occasion. He picks up a Christmas tree contrary to his friends wishes and insists on having it in the play. When his friend quotes a verse by Luke from the Gospel Charlie feels inspired, positive and ready to celebrate with good spirit.
