Gotta reblog this GIF. I had just read a good post here: “How ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ defies common sense”. Now I understand better why I’ve always loved that corny Christmas cartoon so much.

“Today the chances of selling a Christian-themed, anti-commercialism Christmas special would seem just as slim as they were in the 1960s. But more challenging in the present than either of these options is Schulz’s vision of a group of sweet (but also self-centered), adorable (but also kind of mean) individuals allowing their own self-interest and sensibilities to fall away before a humble, fragile life. To see with clarity that no matter who or what stands before them, they aren’t so bad, really. They just need a little love.”
