Can We Answer Charlie Brown?
In 1965, Charles Schultz, the creator of the Peanuts comic strip, released the television show A Charlie Brown Christmas. Most of the show was about Charlie Brown feeling out of sync with the rest of the world around him during the Christmas season and his trying to figure out what “Christmas is really all about. “ In the end, he comes to a breaking point, and literally yells, Isn't there anyone who can tell me what Christmas is all about? “ To which his friend Linus replies, sure, Charlie Brown, I can tell you. Linus then famously recites the Christmas story from the gospel of Luke. And though the gospel of Luke does indeed point Charlie Brown to the original Christmas narrative, it, perhaps does not do what Charlie Brown asked for. He doesn't ask for the Christmas story, but instead asks a very specific question: What is Christmas all about? This episode takes the original Christmas story and looks at what Christmas is really all about. ———————————————————————————————————————.
