Photos Top cast Edit. Ann Altieri Frieda as Frieda voice uncredited. In the program, Charlie Brown questions the meaning of Christmas, if it has lost its true meaning from all the commercialism. All of the Peanuts characters that had been introduced and established as permanent in the strip by feature in the program. Charlotte Braun had been dropped a decade earlier, and Roy had only made one guest appearance at camp that year. Most of the Peanuts characters are skating on a frozen pond as the song " Christmas Time Is Here " plays.
On his way to join them, Charlie Brown confides in Linus that even though the holidays are approaching he is starting to feel depressed despite all the presents and cards and tree decorating. His depression and aggravation only get exacerbated by the goings-on in the neighbourhood.
Though his mailbox is empty of Christmas cards, he tries sarcastically to thank Violet for the card she sent him, though Violet knows she did no such thing. Charlie Brown cries after Violet as she walks away: "Don't you know sarcasm when you hear it? Ultimately, Charlie Brown visits Lucy in her psychiatric booth. On her advice, he gets involved in directing a Christmas nativity play. She also sympathizes with Charlie Brown about holiday depression, always getting a lot of stupid toys instead of what she wants: real estate.
On the way to the theatre, Charlie Brown is drawn to Snoopy , who is frantically and gleefully busy decorating his doghouse. When Charlie Brown demands an explanation, Snoopy hands him a flyer about a neighbourhood Christmas lights and display contest. Charlie Brown walks away in frustration at his dog having been bitten by the Christmas commercialization bug. He then gets accosted by Sally , who wants Charlie Brown to dictate a letter to Santa.
Sally ultimately asks Santa to just send money, particularly tens and twenties, causing Charlie Brown to run away in exasperation at even his sister's secularization. Charlie Brown arrives at the rehearsals, but try as he might, he cannot seem to get control of the situation.
The uncooperative children are more interested in modernizing the play with dancing and lively music. Charlie Brown, on the other hand, is determined to not let the play become secularized, by focusing on the traditional side of the story. Thinking the play requires the proper mood, Charlie Brown decides they need a Christmas tree. So Lucy takes over the crowd and dispatches Charlie Brown to get a big shiny aluminum tree It must prove itself by the test of time.
Besides that, CBS network executives hated it, complaining of its slow pace and simple animation. They gave it black marks because it had no adult voices and no laugh tracks. The bigwigs of the powerful commercial network did not approve of the anti-commercialism message. They were afraid of Linus quoting Holy Scripture.
