“A Charlie Brown Christmas” – 50 years on

50 years ago today, December 9, 1965, “A Charlie Brown Christmas” aired for the first time.

A 23 minute masterpiece the network thought would flop and be forgotten, was seen on half of all televisions in the United States that night.

The aspects that made the network hate it are exactly what made it timeless… and just as perfect today as it was 50 years ago.

In all the years of drawing squirrels name Bob, I have never captured my OWN present feelings as perfectly as I have this morning.  It’s not the best drawing, but it’s the best illustration.

The tension, the stress… all there.  Now I’m even more stressed that I’ll never be able to capture a feeling as well ever again.

I’m going to need a bigger teddy bear.
