'A Charlie Brown Christmas' 60th
A Charlie Brown Christmas' TV special and soundtrack turns 60 this season; the Peanuts franchise turned 75 in October! Pop culturally a classic, no official celebration has been set to celebrate the 60th anniversary. Sharing my personal memories, I flashback how A Charlie Brown Christmas came about in 1965, critique the album, and different spinoffs that have evolved from it since.
