Despite all this junk about being politically correct and Rudolf and Santa being too religious, I found it humbling that they still play A Charlie Brown Christmas on secular television.
As I sit and eat my supper watching Charlie Brown pick out the most ugly Christmas tree in the world, I am amazed at the message being displayed on the ABC network.
After every one rags on Charlie Brown for picking an ugly tree and telling him he is stupid, dumb, and a huge screw up, he freaks out. He yells, what is Christmas all about, I don't know? He is confused by every ones hype on the details of the season. This is where Linus steps up and tells everyone the meaning of Christmas. He tells the Christmas story we all know so well. Simply put he tells everyone of the savior who was born on Christmas day. He says Christ is the reason for Christmas. Charlie Brown makes up his mind not to let everyone else ruin Christmas for him.
I thought this was great. Today in these dark times we live in, with everyone making a big deal out of this joyous season, we can relax and enjoy it. Even when people trample other people for their own selfish gain, or rant on how santa is religious, or how we should be politically correct to shape things for every doubter. We don't have to let people ruin our special holiday, because we know Christ was born to us that glorious day. He laid down His life and was raised to life again, and is seated at the right hand of God in full power, and majesty, and dominion, and authority. Before all time, now and forever.
