A Charlie Brown Christmas features Charlie Brown's search for meaning in the Christmas holiday. He starts the special seeking to understand why he always ends up depressed around the holidays. On the advice of Lucy, he gets involved in directing a school play about the Nativity. When he loses control of the production because of the cast members' refusal to listen to him, he is given the lesser responsibility of finding a Christmas tree for the play. Instead of buying a "big, shiny, aluminum" artificial tree as he was instructed to do by Lucy, he chooses a pitiful little tree, which happens (somewhat symbolically) to be the only real tree on the lot. This makes him the target of laughter and derision by all except Linus. Charlie Brown cries out in abject desperation, wondering if anyone understands what Christmas is all about. Linus answers him by reciting the story of the birth of Jesus, from the Gospel of Luke. Meanwhile, Snoopy has decorated his famous doghouse with colorful flashing lights and other baubles, and won 1st Prize in a decorating contest. Charlie Brown takes the decorations and puts a single ornament on his tree, which promptly collapses under the weight. He flees in despair. Having heard Linus's explanation of what Christmas is all about, the other kids realise they've been too hard on Charlie Brown, and fix his tree up into a brilliant Christmas display using the rest of Snoopy's decorations. Charlie Brown returns to find the whole gang gathered around his tree. In a rare moment of happiness, he joins the crew in singing the Christmas carol "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", as the closing credits roll.
음악이 오늘따라 마음을 가라앉혀준다. 직장을 그만둔다고 했기때문에 어떤 정같은 것에 이끌려 며칠 고민하고 그러다가 완전히 눈물바다로. 지긋지긋하던 여기도 약간은 아쉽고..되게 보고싶어졌다. 영화가. 과연 알루미늄 트리가 안좋은가? 작은 진짜 나무가 좋을까?
