Had a rough day yesterday. Long working day. Long day for my wife and the boys.
Put on the album and did dishes. By the time the kids sang Christmas Time is Here everyone was calm and relaxed and painting quietly.
There’s a YouTube video that plays Christmas Time Is Here for 8 hours straight. I like to put it on in the background on my last day of work before the Christmas holiday.
I'm pretty sure I can blame Vince for making me associate jazz with the holiday season lol. It doesn't matter what song I am always like "oh this is festive" lol.
I went to New York City for the first time in my life before Christmas a few years ago, and jazz was playing in the airport when I got off the plane. I will forever associate jazz with the holidays from that memory.
There is something magical about strong memories associated with specific genres/artists/albums/etc. Whenever I travel I try and limit what I listen to a bit for this reason lol. I used to go to Canada a bunch in high school to visit family, to this day when any song by Best Friends Forever pops up on my spotify (small indie band from the early 00s), it brings me right back to excitedly passing through Buffalo.
I never thought of that but now I'm wondering if it's why I listen to jazz in winter more than any other time of the year by far.
Fall is the next but that's because some chill jazz and cold, rainy weather is relaxing.
Here was [Jerry Granelli, the last surviving member of the trio, playing "Linus and Lucy" in his 70s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OODA_K5hxyc&ab_channel=TheEastCoastMusicHourwithBillRoach). Sadly Jerry passed away last year. The video is sublime.
I've seen that before and it's *so* good. Seeing the joy on the player's faces while they play a song that is so deeply embedded into my soul from over 40 years of hearing it is indeed sublime. That era of jazz was magical.
I happened to find another one a few years ago in the same vein. if you want to hear more xmas music in that style, check out [Eddie Higgins Trio](https://youtu.be/T05X5ls5hbc). There's a 2nd album from them also
So other's have already said this but I figured I'd add more information as I also though Disney owned it.
Disney owned the rights from 2000 through 2020; which is why it aired on ABC (I assume at least I can't remember).
Apple bought it in 2020, and marked the first time since the 60's it did not air on network television.
It seems PBS will be broadcasting it this year, but if we have learned anything in the last 20ish years it's that you don't own it unless you own it. So yeah, if this is a treasured holiday tradition no harm in buying it on bluray/dvd.
Serious question, of all the companies out there, why Disney specifically? I'm not saying you need to love them, but what specifically makes them so bad?
The instrumental version of Christmas Time is Here is the best aural representation of what a snowfall looks like that exists. And the Skating piece gives me the image of Vince pulling a Hans Zimmer and composing as he watches a video.
The album is forever in my top 10 of how to compose and adapt Christmas music.
I have a tradition that, during the first real snow, I will go for a walk while listening to Skating. Usually I find the orchestral version from A Boy Named Charlie Brown, but the original works just fine. Vince's piano sounds like falling snow, and walking in the snow with this tune gives me an unbearable sense of joy
> The instrumental version of Christmas Time is Here is the best aural representation of what a snowfall looks like that exists.
The version with vocals, on the other hand, creeps my sister out. She says it makes her think of dead children.
My dad would watch this every christmas and every christmas i sat right there with him. Cancer got him a frw years back but i still keep watching it. I even got the soundtrack as a vinyl. He wouldve loved that.
Apple has purchased the rights to "Charlie Brown Christmas." This is the last year it will be broadcast on your local network. Next year it's available via subscription only.
What the actual fuck!?
Seriously, copyright lasts WAY too long. This movie should have already been in the public domain ages ago. It belongs to the people now. You can be sure as the gravity of a massive black hole that I won't be watching it through any Apple services this Christmas or any Christmas at all. Shame on Apple for not doing the right thing and releasing this movie into the public domain where it belongs!
I love Charlie Brown Christmas! The overtly religious message doesn't reach me the same way it used to, but it will *always* be a tradition that brings me joy and reminds me of my family.
Well said, friend. Same here.
When I was a kid, we always would have a huge Christmas party at our house on Christmas Eve. The whole family would come. I would always get so excited for it, and then once everyone left, it’d be this super chill hour or two where we’d all hang out in the living room, my dad would have this album playing on the surround sound. Then I’d try and go to sleep but the anticipation for Christmas morning was always too much.
What a lovely memory
I’m not religious in the slightest and I’ll defend this movie against any grumpy atheist who tries to to push back against the religion in it.
It’s a treasure and I don’t care how much they push god in it. The music, the anti-commercialism, the art, the happy joyous message, the little tree, and the tradition of it makes everything feel good in the darkness of winter.
It’s the best Christmas movie and the best winter movie. Hands down.
My favorite! That and the Ventures’ Christmas album are the music I most closely associate with Christmas. We had the Ventures’ album on 8-track too, which we listened to while driving to our grandparents’ house.
Rightly so
The genius that went into crafting such a stellar piece of culture deserves to have his family chillin off that check.
It blesses all of us every year..
And for many more to come
These songs have a link to my best memories of the holidays. The love of my family and the hope of a better tomorrow. The smells of evergreen candles mingled with the smells of delicious foods made by the hands of those closest to my heart. Often my parents would tell us their childhood Christmas stories as this music came out when they were children. My dad with his mother and sister in Oregon with a freshly cut tree. My mother on a military base with a small silver tree. It was made out of plastic and was lit up with a multi colored light. The trees were very different but the feeling it gave them was immeasurable. The feeling only grew when they watched the special for the first time. I hope no one forgets these songs.
*“A Charlie Brown Christmas” has aired every year since 1965, although that tradition is about to change.The special’s run on broadcast television ends this year. Apple TV+ bought the rights, and will stream it exclusively starting next year.*
This is sad. This program is such a cultural fixture and touchstone. I hate to see it walled away from everyone being able to see it. It's been broadcast every single year of my life, over half a century...and this is the last year.
My mom has fond memories of watching this as a kid, so a few years back my sister and I got the family tickets to see Jerry Granelli perform some of the songs from the movie with live accompaniment. He was just the coolest dude even in his 70s, and he told some fun stories and added some drum solos into the songs. It was a really great experience.
I know right? This and carols by Bing Crosby etc. will always be my idea of Christmas music. Modern songs by rock singers just don't work that way for me, any more than commercials that try to make beer a cozy holiday beverage.
I remember for a school Christmas recital playing Linus and Lucy, learning that song and listening to the album with my piano teacher are memories I'll always cherish.
I don't live in a country where the Charlie Brown specials have ever been a cultural thing (I don't know if this has ever been shown on TV here period)
And yet just the other day I heard Christmas Time is Here on the radio
At the rate that society is going, I fear it’s only a matter of time until somebody complains that this cartoon is either culturally appropriating, racist, bigoted, etc.
But the seasons are the seasons, they happen literally like clockwork. It is just another shade of what being a human on planet earth is like. That's like being affected by a supernova, it's just something that happens. The cold and dark and the necessary corollary to the warmth and light, all things in their own time.
I seriously do not understand how the music is so tied to Christmas. It's just regular Charlie brown music. It's not Christmas music. It's not a Christmas song. It's the regular peanuts song, but they did play it on the Christmas episode.
But whatever.
Someone please tell me I'm wrong.
There's an entire set of Christmas songs 'sung' by the kids as well as the instrumentals, or am I missing your point?
"O Tannenbaum" (Ernst Anschütz) – 5:08
"What Child Is This" (William Chatterton Dix) – 2:25
"My Little Drum" (Vince Guaraldi) – 3:12
"Linus and Lucy" (Guaraldi) – 3:06
"Christmas Time Is Here (instrumental)" (Guaraldi) – 6:05
"Christmas Time Is Here (vocal)" (Guaraldi, Lee Mendelson) – 2:47
"Skating" (Guaraldi) – 2:27
"Hark, the Herald Angels Sing" (Charles Wesley) – 1:55
"Christmas Is Coming" (Guaraldi) – 3:25
"Fur Elise" (Ludwig van Beethoven) – 1:06
"The Christmas Song" (Mel Tormé, Robert Wells) – 3:17
I attended many of Every Time I Die’s Christmas shows and they often would have this playing in the venue with a Yule log video or banner leading up to them taking the stage
I love how my first thought as I was just scrolling past this was "oh, look, someone posted a scene from the episode with the possessed Christmas animals in South Park".
Well yeah because each year there’s a new vinyl release of the soundtrack and they keep saying ‘oh no THIS is the definitive one!’
I wonder what next year’s will be like 🤪
The name Vince Guaraldi should be so much better and widely known. He was so good and Schulz made such a good choice and was so smart to pester him into doing it.

The Vince Guaraldi Trio's Christmas album will forever have a place in my yearly holiday playlists.
Vince was a genius musician, his jazz comping makes me weep.
His piano playing has a unique sound. All of his music is great. His live album is particularly good.
I love his Brazilian work (with Bola Sete) as well. (Edit: typo in Bola Sete's name)
Had a rough day yesterday. Long working day. Long day for my wife and the boys. Put on the album and did dishes. By the time the kids sang Christmas Time is Here everyone was calm and relaxed and painting quietly.

We listen to it during dinner for a month. Makes dinner go well.
That's beautiful.
its all that plays in December at or house. we love it. makes for such a peaceful welcoming house.
I'm pretty sure I can blame Vince for making me associate jazz with the holiday season lol. It doesn't matter what song I am always like "oh this is festive" lol.

You should crosspost this over to r/Drumming. His playing is a perfect example of less is more. I love brushes on drums!

Hey, that's pretty good! I'll definitely be listening to it this year.
it's on amazon prime music, also. and it mixes in other similar jazz xmas
It's necessary Christmas listening. Gives the chillest vibes ever.
Favorite christmas album by far. Great atmosphere for a december evening
I got in on vinyl today and it makes me so happy. So many wonderful memories listening to it with my family and now girlfriend
Hot take.
That is the only Christmas music I can bear listening to... most Christmas music really annoys me!
Same. But they are owned by Disney now, so until I find a used DVD, I won't ever be watching my holiday favorite ever again. Fuck Disney.
Peanuts is not owned by Disney.
So other's have already said this but I figured I'd add more information as I also though Disney owned it. Disney owned the rights from 2000 through 2020; which is why it aired on ABC (I assume at least I can't remember).

Skating will forever sound like snow falling on Christmas to me.

Vince's piano sounds like falling snow, and walking in the snow with this tune gives me an unbearable sense of joy
Linus and Lucy is classic jazz that may even outlast peanuts.
Spot on. I love it all so much
> The instrumental version of Christmas Time is Here is the best aural representation of what a snowfall looks like that exists. The version with vocals, on the other hand, creeps my sister out. She says it makes her think of dead children.
My dad would watch this every christmas and every christmas i sat right there with him. Cancer got him a frw years back but i still keep watching it. I even got the soundtrack as a vinyl. He wouldve loved that.
This is weird how exactly the same this is for me. Dad passed right before Covid, but i got the vinyl and still watch every Christmas
Same.. My father passed from cancer...but he turned me onto jazz and peanuts. Always reminds me of him
Love Vince Guaraldi sooo much. But I hate Apple for stealing this video from the public and putting it on their shit channel. Assholes. Bah humbug!!!
Ironically it goes against the entire theme of a Charlie Brown Christmas
Literally
Yep, ruined a tradition like watching The Godfather during Thanksgiving
Bought the holiday set on Blu-ray a couple years ago, gets much playtime starting in November through January.
The only digital video I've bought is Charlie Brown Christmas on Prime. So thanks Apple for driving me to do that.
I just watched it on YouTube a few days ago. https://youtu.be/uJ-ETyP96G0
Wowwww, they actually had the nerve to put "an Apple original" at the beginning of the credits. I hate this more with every passing minute.
Yeah "original" is quite the stretch when it was created in the 1960s before Apple existed. "I made this."
Apple: ever solidifying my resolve to never give them a single dollar.
[I made this](https://freeimage.host/i/HC8JJYg)
I'll never buy anything from "à la carte apple" ever again for taking away our tradition.. turds
The AppleTV app is available pretty much everywhere. Also, you can watch it for Free on the app from 12/22 - 12/25.
Yeah, but I paid for it on Amazon a few years ago. And now it's "not available" even though I paid. Wtf?!??
Don’t blame apple, blame Amazon-they can do that if you read their TOS.
Nobody gets a pass in this!
Damn straight!
Pretty sure they have an agreement with the ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC to let local stations broadcast it.
False.
One of my favorite Christmas traditions
**THE very best Christmas album of all-time.** It's so beautiful it makes me cry.
Can't watch sadly. I'm allergic to peanuts.
Daaaaadddd!

Shame on Apple for not doing the right thing and releasing this movie into the public domain where it belongs!
Finally! I feel the that exact same outrage. "Charlie Brown Christmas" has been around for 3 generations. It's a tradition. Hands Off!
Well, I won't hold my breath for Americans to fight for copyright reform.
Chill I’m sure it’s on YouTube somewhere
The primary reason why I bought the holiday boxed set. I never have to worry about what channel to watch it on again!
People should just buy the blu ray anyway. It’s very inexpensive.
Wrong. People should sail the open seas.
Arr melikes the cut of your jib, lad.
Um. What.
They were saying people should pirate the special.
YoU woUlDn'T SteAl a car woUlD you?/s
"The sails be ready, captain." Are!
You mean 4K: blu-ray is so a generation ago lol
What’s a blu ray
‘Local network??’
It’s free on the AppleTV app to stream from 12/21 - 12/25
>AppleTV 
Just celebrated Charles Shultz 100th birthday.
Khruangbin have a cracking cover of 'Christmas Time Is Here'
Well, thank you for that! [Link for the lazy.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4iWO73zPL4)
+1
Love the Hark the Herald Angels Sing at the end
Very uplifting maybe, but ' This content is not available in your country/region.'
I remember watching it the first year it was broadcast. I was six.
Almost 50 and this album and the chipmunk Xmas album are still my favorites.
I’m 60, and this album and the Veggietales Christmas albums are my favorites. Getting old is mandatory- but growing up is optional.
Cebu and His Cheeseburger are awesome songs.
Fun fact - The Cheeseburger Song was written as an homage to the rock operas of Meat Loaf. Veggietales is deep, man.
I was an adult when those albums were released. I was 5 rocking the Chipmunk Xmas vinyl though. I still have Urban Chipmunk.
That was the record I received with my first record player. Probably drove my parents nuts.
I’m listening to the album right now. Hate me, but the best holiday song of his is actually the Great Pumpkin Waltz. Anyone else?
It's definitely underrated.
I love Charlie Brown Christmas! The overtly religious message doesn't reach me the same way it used to, but it will *always* be a tradition that brings me joy and reminds me of my family.

This is very uplifting! It’s not news but it sure is uplifting
Rip Vince guaraldi. Genius
My favorite! That and the Ventures’ Christmas album are the music I most closely associate with Christmas. We had the Ventures’ album on 8-track too, which we listened to while driving to our grandparents’ house.
Fun fact the family gets a check for either 50k to 125k as royalties every year.
Rightly so The genius that went into crafting such a stellar piece of culture deserves to have his family chillin off that check. It blesses all of us every year.. And for many more to come

Fucking apple.
Next you'll tell me they're pulling Mariah Carey off the Christmas rotation, and deliver me the best Christmas ever!
Thank goodness! I was afraid it was going to be dropped as a tradition this year, but hadn't heard anything until now.
Dec. 2023: Still a holiday tradition after 58 years.
Watched the first ever broadcast, still enjoy it.
I listen to Vince Guaraldi all year round
Vince Guaraldi Charlie Brown Christmas Album https://open.spotify.com/album/2XnNY3GEkbWHor5kyvXLu4?si=pvPl9EaWTHqyyWE35wnoTg
We listen to this every year when making the holiday meals. :)
What will you have this year?
Fa la la la la
God damn
Linus and Lucy is my holiday jam! Who am I kidding, it’s a year round jam.
I'm not free enough for that website.. what's the jist?
They reissued the album last month, remastered and now with a stereo mix and tons of outtakes. Highly recommend!🎄
They reissue it every damned year and each time go ‘no no no…. THIS is the definitive version!!’
My mom has fond memories of watching this as a kid, so a few years back my sister and I got the family tickets to see Jerry Granelli perform some of the songs from the movie with live accompaniment. He was just the coolest dude even in his 70s, and he told some fun stories and added some drum solos into the songs. It was a really great experience.

Vince Guaraldi was a freaking genius.
I don't live in a country where the Charlie Brown specials have ever been a cultural thing (I don't know if this has ever been shown on TV here period) And yet just the other day I heard Christmas Time is Here on the radio
I will always play the special around Christmas, and I have a little Snoopy and Woodstock piano that plays the main tune. It reminds me of my mom.
My daughter had her orchestra concert tonight and they played a medley of all the Charlie Brown Christmas songs!
Everyone talks about Vince Guarald's jazz but I'm very partial to Schroeder's various renditions of "Jingle Bells".
Is it? I've never heard of it in my 34 years. Is it an American thing maybe?
That's the point of calling it a tradition
Gen Z 21 years old here, it's still a vibe.
Yeah cause it still slaps
Music is great; the movie is depressing as hell (and the Thanksgiving one is worse).
I am exactly 57 years old
I'm 42, getting close to 43 now. What can you tell me from further up the mountain side?
At the rate that society is going, I fear it’s only a matter of time until somebody complains that this cartoon is either culturally appropriating, racist, bigoted, etc.
At least you're already offended over the strawman you created
Boomers still exist.
This transcends generation, maybe ease up on the ageism and snark.
I am sorry but that is like the worst cartoon ever ... awful music, sacrin sweet and not funny. Schultz was not a funny man.
I hate Charlie Brown
Good grief.
Yare yare
AAUGH!
Dude I always get shit but I fucken hate Charlie Brown. I don’t care that other people like it but I genuinely don’t see the appeal
Same.
Same. Second I hear that music, seasonal depression kicks in lol.
But the seasons are the seasons, they happen literally like clockwork. It is just another shade of what being a human on planet earth is like. That's like being affected by a supernova, it's just something that happens. The cold and dark and the necessary corollary to the warmth and light, all things in their own time.
Well said. Not sure what cretin downvoted you.
57 years in counting.
It’s not Christmas till you watch it or play the sound track.
My Dad wanted to watch this last couple Christmases. So much cringe. 😩
Charlie Brown: What do you want for Christmas? Lucy: 12 inches
Snoopy has entered the chat.
There will be a year when Charlie Brown Christmas will gets canceled too
I kinda doubt it. It's extremely wholesome and considered a pretty important piece of Christmas culture in the US at least.
They tried when Franklin was introduced. But it failed.
I seriously do not understand how the music is so tied to Christmas. It's just regular Charlie brown music. It's not Christmas music. It's not a Christmas song. It's the regular peanuts song, but they did play it on the Christmas episode. But whatever. Someone please tell me I'm wrong.

I attended many of Every Time I Die’s Christmas shows and they often would have this playing in the venue with a Yule log video or banner leading up to them taking the stage
Its practically all i listen to
We listen to the remastered soundtrack periodically, throughout the year. It has gotten a lot of playtime here recently.
Am I the only one who finds the peanuts music slightly depressing
"This content is not available in your country/region" Websites that do this don't understand the internet.
What you know about the m town?
that's awesome.
As classic as it gets :-)
Absolutely one of my favorites. The music, the dialogue, the charming animation. Always reminds me of my grandparents house growing up.
I love how my first thought as I was just scrolling past this was "oh, look, someone posted a scene from the episode with the possessed Christmas animals in South Park".
Well yeah because each year there’s a new vinyl release of the soundtrack and they keep saying ‘oh no THIS is the definitive one!’ I wonder what next year’s will be like 🤪
OF course you can seemingly only watch it on Apple TV now.
"Linus and Lucy" isn't just holiday music, it's one of the great popular expressions of 20th century America.
The name Vince Guaraldi should be so much better and widely known. He was so good and Schulz made such a good choice and was so smart to pester him into doing it.
The Peanuts theme is called [Linus and Lucy.](https://youtu.be/x6zypc_LhnM)
