It just isn't Christmas without the gang from Peanuts. In honor of Christmas, here's one of my favorite lesser known Christmas songs, "Snoopy's Christmas", complete with video!
Its a fun song but one which is actually more real than you might think. The Christmas truce between Snoopy and the Red Baron has actually happened in several different wars, perhaps most famously on the Western Front of World War I between British and German Forces. The two sides climbed out of their trenches, met in no man's land, shared their meager rations, sang songs, exchanged small gifts and even played soccer. Nothing says more to me about the importance of Christmas and the longing deep in the human soul for peace than that story. Its also a good reminder that there are plenty of fine men and woman still serving us in uniform in the far flung reaches of the world during this holiday season, and we certainly wish them a happy one and a quick return home.
Merry Christmas everyone, and of course a Happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Tet, Yule, Festivas and anything else you may be celebrating. Have a great holiday and a very Happy New Year!
