Vince Guaraldi Trio - Christmas Time Is Here (Vocal)

- čas přidán 3. 12. 2012
- On December 9, 1965, A Charlie Brown Christmas aired on TV screens across America and instantly captured the hearts and ears of a generation. Bolstering the animated special, based on Charles M. Schulz’s immensely popular PEANUTS comic strip, was an engaging score from Bay Area jazz artist Vince Guaraldi, who brought characters like Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Snoopy to life through his evocative cues.
Working primarily with bassist Fred Marshall and drummer Jerry Granelli, Guaraldi paired inspired interpretations of traditional holiday fare (“O Tannenbaum,” “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing,” and “What Child Is This”) with original compositions, including the instantly recognizable “Linus and Lucy” theme, “Skating,” and “Christmas Time Is Here.” The latter song, available as both an instrumental and vocal track, featured young choral singers from St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in San Rafael, CA.
More than five decades later, the Emmy® and Peabody®-winning animated classic has spawned more than two dozen subsequent PEANUTS specials. Guaraldi’s soundtrack, meanwhile, has since become one of the best-selling jazz albums in history, second only to Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue, and regularly ranks among America’s top-selling holiday albums every December.

I really miss being a kid on Christmas
IKR! When you didn't feel the stressful side of the holidays and no one complained until the presents were unwrapped
You could take your inner kid out for a walk, a hot chocolate, and look at the christmas windows and lights, maybe.
I miss being a kid
I hear that! I'm 29. This is gonna be the last Christmas of my 20's and I can't help but feel a sense of loss about it. :\
@@pattigee1 You express so much poignancy -- in so few words. Just posted a note on the song's origin. Thanks for posting, Pattigee. -- Mark B of the frozen North
Born in 1955, sadly today all my immediate family and extended family as well as friends most of them anyway, have passed away and I am alone. However when I hear those children sing this song I am instantly transported back to around 1966 or 1967 at Christmas time. It brings back to me a visceral sense of happiness and contentment as if my voice is among those of the children singing. It’s quite magical actually. Peace.
Hope you had a Merry Christmas ! Have a Happy New Year
I'm sorry that they passed away. Have a happy new year!
I lost all my loved ones too. I would be most happy to talk with you anytime. I wish there was a place where people are crushed by loss could talk with others going through the same. :(
Thank you for the kind offer and I may take you up on it at some point down the road. Currently I am recovering from a full knee replacement in a rehab center. Ironically I am a licensed psychologist and happen to be blind.
@@Dr.scottcase88 You are welcome, and anytime you are up to it sir.
Nostalgia: homesickness, missing my childhood, conflicted between growing older and a desire to remain younger.
omg ~ This Right Here 😊
Yes Time goes by so fast
It does man
Every normal person misses their childhood and anyone that says they dont is full of fecal matter. My memory of being a kid is still bright and makes me chuckle all the time.
@@maggs131 "normal person" is a childish myth-and don't give me that "you know what I mean" shtick.
This song brings me the emotion that doesn't exist, a mix of happiness, nostalgia, mellowness. It feels cheerful yet so melancholy. I love it
schadenfreude?
A most wonderful melancholy.
I got the same feelings every time when I listen to this song too.
Indeed
That’s why it’s so good.
This song feels like the shopping’s done, the kids are in bed and you are standing outside in a misty snow.
John Corcoran, Jr. What a beautiful image ☺
i would hate to have my bed outside in a misty snow. it would be so cold!
Nailed it!
Exactly that, Mr. Corcoran. Exactly that.
YES!!!
This is the only christmas song that can make you smile and cry.
Not me. It makes me frown and cry because of the vocals!!! 😭😭😭
Happy sad
have yourself a merry little christmas - frank sinatra
RegularRy this song that song and silver bells by dean Martin are the most beautiful that can make you smile and cry
I agree
It's December 2022! We've made it to another Christmas season and I'm so grateful! As a 2 time breast cancer overcomer I'm so thankful to the Lord for healing me and allowing me the opportunity to experience this time of year once again! Merry Christmas and God bless all of you listening to this gem!
Glad to hear you overcame it twice! Happy Holidays to you
God bless you!!
Glad to hear you’ve overcome that TWICE! Amazing! God bless u❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hope to read you just like now next year, blessings 🙏 and godspeed
Congratulations and merry Christmas friend
I cannot wait for Christmas this year. After the year we just had it's time for some peace and joy!
You said it! Eagerly awaiting my yellow Christmas Tree so I can decorate it Pikachu style. And hopefully escape reality just for a little while. Hope your holiday season is filled with joy and good times. Holiday2020.
agreed❤️ christmas is the only thing that will make this year better 🎄🎄
Couldn’t agree more, dear fellow!
Merry Christmas 🎄
You are getting trolled by 2020 if you think we will get a peaceful Christmas.
Yes, it makes me cry, and that's not an accident. Guaraldi surely knew he was writing a song that would become embedded in the memories of a generation; it sounded nostalgic even when it was new. Lee Mendelson exercised one of the songwriter's cleverest tricks: combining happy lyrics that would have sounded at home in a perky, upbeat ditty and setting them to a rueful tune that sets a tone of ambivalence and regret.
I played this at my Concert last year and I cried.
I think you mean Generations.
Stuart Nichols very well worded
That reminds me of Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. Which I love as well. Judy Garland's version from Meet Me in St. Louis most of all.
doesnt sound like regret ....
RIP Lee Mendelson, who wrote these lyrics, died on Christmas Day 2019.
The odds of that happening are about one in 365. Less than getting hit by lighting, but still curious. Lee was the last of the Charlie Brown team that created these specials. This song gives a more mellow, different take to Xmas. It was and is unique.
Hopefully to this tune, playing softly in the background
@@errolfan im sorry i know this is late but, getting hit by lightning is WAY RARER than dying on Christmas day. lol
No whistling past the graveyard. Christmas is just around the corner (small lol).
He seriously died on 12/25/19?
My favorite Christmas Song , I'm 69 yrs. old . Most of my family have passed on and I never had kids . This song tugs at my heart for some reason . Blessings to all of you 🙏❤️
Happy holidays and blessings to you too man
I'm 73 and totally understand - I'll think of you on Christmas Day ❤
Blessings to you, as well.
@@mecarver Christmas time is here
Merry Christmas to you Pablo 🫶🏾
This song takes you to a different place.
That spot between childhood and adulthood. A quiet night. Lights aglow on the tree, snow silently falling outside and the cold feel of your bare feet on a wooden floor. In that place it doesn't matter what's under the tree. That moment, that place in time... you don't even know it at the time. But it's one of the greatest moments of your entire life.
You said it! Ignorance is bliss.
Bless you for this. May you keep these moments always in your heart!
Well said. God bless
My bad I typed the reply in the wrong comment
Thank you !!! Merry Christmas
A lot of people find this song sad, yet I'm just here remembering my Christmas childhood and peace whenever I hear this song. It's beautiful
I don't think people think it's sad, quite so much as it brings them to tears. For many people, nostalgia hurts.
***** Okay, I understand
Same
I also agree.
Yeah, but that's sort of the point. Yes it brings back good memories, but it also reminds you you can never go back. Love this song though. I can listen to it both ways.
My grandmother was Christmas. I didn’t see her all that often but every year she would bring the whole family together, spend countless hours (and dollars) shopping for and wrapping gifts... preparing food and beautifully decorating her house. Each Christmas Eve was magical, even in my late teens I thought so. This past June she died of brain cancer and the holiday will *never, ever* be the same. Part of my Christmas died with her. So yes, this is one of the many Christmas songs that make me tear up as it radiates the joy and newfound sadness I feel surrounding this beloved time of year.
🥺🥺
Sorry man
that is so very sad.. and i believe that *no one* should ever have to experience that sort of pain and distance of forming memories.. i know that christmases at my grandma’s house are always so lovely, and i just enjoy the memories so much.. praying that you find peace and serenity this holiday 🙏🎅
I know what you mean :( I used to celebrate Thanksgiving and Chirstmas every year at my grandparents house. After my grandpa passed away, my grandma was persuaded to sell the house and move back home. Ever since my grandpa passed away in 2009, the holidays never felt the same.
My Grandpa passed away right before Christmas and it wasn’t the same, after he died its like we got bad luck, me and my family couldn’t go down for the holidays, my dad had to go to the ER and we didn’t have Christmas dinner, it was very dull, it was like he was so bright that when he died he made the world sad too.
It’s not even near. I just like the way the song makes me feel. It’s crazy how music can really make you feel full of emotions and also like you’re somewhere else. It’s amazing.
just around the corner!!! cannot wait for christmas
I know exactly what you mean...
welp now it is
That's the child in you. That little 4-year-old self that misses the happier, simpler times
iam 70 years old never miss charlie brown christmas on tv every season
I'm 41 and I miss everything we had in those times this wasn't just for kids it was for everybody 😢
This song makes me cry because it reminds me of Christmas when I was a child... Back when my family was together... When my sister wasn't estranged, when my parents were still in love, when we weren't broke, when my cousins weren't alcoholics...
One day I'll have my own family... And Christmas time will be joyful once again
Michelle Fox hang in there, I’m going through the same thing. Hope things get better for you
You will Michelle. I believe in you..
I learned a long time ago, you're never too old to have a happy childhood. Always, always, *always* follow your heart...it knows the way, even when you're not sure.
Most relatable comment ever!!!
It’s ok man you’ll have your own Christmas joy one day
When I was in kindergarten ( 1983 ) they played this over the intercom as we left school for Christmas Vacation..... it was snowing, what a great memory.
Great memories....thanks for sharing ❄️❄️❄️🎄🎅☃️
I envy that kind of moment. I’m glad you remember that ❤
That sounds lovely! 😀
That is an awesome memory, thanks for sharing!
Wow that’s magical
It's Christmas Eve 2020, and I know we don't have much to celebrate about this year, but one thing I'm beyond grateful for and that is my 93 year old mother is still here to enjoy it with me and both of us in relatively good health. I don't know how many more we will get together, but for this year at least, we have each other...and that is everything.
That's a beautiful thing to have, merry Christmas
have a wonderful Christmas, praying for you and your mother.
There's always something to celebrate
Wounderful to hear how is she tracking 9 months later?
Hello from 2021, nothin's changed
I was on the bus with my "noise-canceling headphones" today while someone was playing this song I removed the left side of the headphones. Stopped the music I was playing, went into CZcams search engine and played this song 10 times in a row. One of the most beautiful Christmas songs ever recorded. Thank you Lee Melendez
You make Christmas much better because of this song.
Rest In Paradise.
Words were by Lee. Piano by Vince. Timeless
U mean Rest In Peace right?
@@CXP3Dif they wanted that they woulda put it
My father died in January many years ago. We were all very young, and he played this song for us every Christmas. So as soon as every January begins, I play it everyday. It's my tribute to the most perfect father ever. I know if he had a choice, he'd still be with us. So, this is for you daddy. Love always..
I’m so sorry for your loss. But your dad will always look down at you and will always be there for you especially Christmas. Stay strong and take care! ❤️
aw man, this is very nce
I did not have a father or mother - I have never understood what having a father might mean, but I imagine it when someone like you tells of theirs 💜 it sounds nice
@@belindacarter6872 😢
I just said that the two things this song reminds me of is Christmas and my Dad. We both loved Snoopy and Charlie Brown and every year we both watched A Charlie Brown Christmas. He is in Heaven now so I watch it for the both of us not only at Christmas time but anytime the feeling hits me. We both love Christmas! I could listen to this track on repeat for hours. It would never bother me.
Hands down the best holiday song ever made
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Check out Nightseeker. The song is called No Place Like Christmas 🎄.
This one, The instrumental of this song & the Christmas song - Nat King Cole
I just added it to my Christmas playlist
As I laugh...😄 I pause... and hands down have to agree with you😎
Who is still listening to Christmas Music in January.

Listening to it in April. Sometimes I just need the Christmas feeling for a little bit.

You brought an iconic voice to a timeless character. I never really had a connection to Peanuts but I often find myself thinking of this song.
Rest easy.
Does this make anybody else cry? I click 'play,' the music begins, and the tears well up.
yes.....makes me think of my mom who is passed, 2 years now :(
I do! This song reminds me of my grandmother!

Your not the only one...this song moves me to tears for some reason. Its such a beautiful song.
+Emper0rH0rde absolutely. Every.Single.Time.
I am so glad to know I am not the only who does this! As much as I love this song, at times it makes me sad!
Charles Schulz ... what a wonderful contribution and gift he gave the world with his creation of Peanuts...
Get out of here, Charlie Brown! You blockhead!
+Ripjaw105 Get out of here Waluigi!
Touché...
+Charlie Brown Yes, with the good ol' Charlie Brown :,)
Hey Charles... I just wanted to try that cause mostly Peppermint Patty always does that! Also... we're you informed that the Peanuts came to BOOMERANG?
Christmas eve 2023 baby. Im grateful for making it to another year 😁
I find this song so depressing but I love it. I was living in my car one year struggling really bad and it was Christmas time, so the radio was playing so much Christmas music , I had never heard this song but I sat there with a good friend of mine who helped me a lot during that time. This song always brings me back to that moment, to that exact moment sitting there just both of us quiet listening to the music. This song always makes me appreciate everything no matter what, and sometimes (especially during this year) I feel like man I’m really lucky that I shared a moment like that with someone. I sent my friend a message about that moment and I hope I hear back from her. Life is crazy. Appreciate everyone in your life. Call an old friend and see how they’re doing. Be safe everyone. Merry Christmas !!!
I feel so melancholy and almost feel an emotional pit when I hear this song, but the song and what it makes you feel is so beautiful; I’ll never be able to fully describe that feeling but it makes me want to cry even though I’m someone who struggles to ever feel any emotion and it reminds me of the beautiful times I spent with so many people during Christmas, and how much I loved those times, and how I can never get those back
Hope things are going well for you now and i hope you have a very good Christmas this year. Have a good one :)
Thank you for sharing a precious moment in time.
R.I.P. to Lee Mendelson, who wrote the lyrics to this classic Christmas tune. He passed away Christmas Day 2019. How ironic that someone who made Christmas special for so many people, me included, would pass on Christmas Day. R.I.P. Lee and thank you as well Vince Guaraldi for this wonderful song ❤
:( darn. I didnt even know it. That's sad.
Dean Martin also passed away on Christmas Day, 1995. His Christmas album is also a jewl to listen to.
Here I am, retired from the Marine Corps and 60 years old..... Listening to this song I'm 6 years old again, sitting in front of the TV with my brothers and Watching A Charley Brown Christmas. We're all drinking hot chocolate on a cold winter's night..... 😁.... Wow, how the years have flown by.....
Thank you for serving us!
It goes by so fast
I feel the same. It does take you back to recollect. Thank you for your service. Semper Fi Marine!
I'm 37 and just
want to be a kid again, why do I have to cry ?
This song makes me really nostalgic, and that honestly makes me experience a deep sadness.
Same here
Same here.
I agree!
Corey Messick How so?
The reason so many people get teary eyed or cry. ❤️ Takes you back a bit, a time that some of us only feel when we hear songs like these.
This song reminds me of simpler times. It never fails to bring tears to my eyes
Your not the only one my guy
Same here...
Ditto.
💪🏾💯
My dad died a week before Christmas and every once in a while, beyond just Christmas, I play this song. This song always will speak to me, and remind me of him.
I'm really sorry for your lost
Rip🙏🏽
This song always brings tears to my eyes the first time I hear it every Holiday Season. Reminds me of my childhood, Christmas, my family, everyone was together, everyone was alive. I'd love to be able to go back to just one 1970s Christmas to see all of my relatives alive and together one more time.
i'm dutch and they never play this here. i don't have emotional attachment to this, nor do i have memories of it from way back. but knowing how famous it is in america i decided tl watch it this christmas with my kids. it was the most lovely christmas feeling ever. the kids loved it!
Auke Jorrit Merry early Christmas!
The reason some countries ban the cartoon is because it tells the Story of the Birth of Jesus Christ and that the birth is the Reason for Christmas. (other words, the true story of Christmas) which the commercialism of today has swept under the rug.
So glad you were able to experience this! And perhaps it will be an "emotional attachment" for your kids! I am 58 years old...and this is by far my most favorite animated Christmas show!
I have to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas every Christmas Eve, along with Ramond Brigg's The Snowman every Christmas Eve.
Auke Jorrit Merry Christmas to you and yours! Linus is the hero of this lovely cartoon, as he reminds us all what it's all about!
This song allows me to forget about the stress, the crunch, the grind of daily life. It allows me to be a kid once again, if only for a few days, but a kid nonetheless. I'm 56 years old most of the year, today I'm 10. Thanks for the memories!!
Right there with you :)
I agree! I remember watching it as a kid in the 60s. Such an innocent time... 🎄
You said it perfectly. Thank you.
Too true
Man. These comments! Never once have I ever realized that all across America were kids watching the same thing I was. Now here we are in our 40s and everybody is having pretty much the same reaction. This is amazing!
This song makes me realize how much I miss my mom and dad, my grandparents, and all my aunts and uncles who have passed away. It takes me back to Christmases long ago. 😢
"Charlie Brown, you're the only person I know who can take a wonderful season like Christmas and turn it into a problem. Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, you're the Charlie Browniest."
Uh, Nat King Cole's The Christmas Song also does it
The vocals came in. My eyes instantly welled up.
I feel you.Happened to me too."Long as we can see such spirit through the year" had me Niagra Falls.
Man this song brings back memories... Light snow falling while these old school Christmas specials on CBS came on... The 80's was a cool time to be a kid. Thanks Grandma for always making Christmas memorable 🥹🙏🏼
It wouldn't be Christmas without this beautiful song and music jazz.
Christmas time is here
Oh hi. Didnt expect you here
porra ronis, você aqui? :0 bom gosto musical kk
Nah
@Figet cube 12 yeah feels weird
happiness and cheer
For me, this composition has personally been the greatest case of "having nostalgia for something never experienced". It's so difficult to describe the emotions that strike me when I listen, a very bittersweet feeling.
Dude I feel. It doesn’t even feel like a Christmas song to me. Just makes me kinda sad but I don’t wanna stop listening cause it’s so beautiful
@@atlascollective3000 It reminds me of sitting in the living room couch with my family watching this special in December 1965, as a five or so year-old child, looking at the black-and-white wooden TV set with not so great sound quality. Oh wait. I wasn't there. I was born more than thirty years after this premiered. Impossible... but it's something so powerful it makes me cry.
I try to listen to the soundtrack album only every Christmas season, just so the emotions strike me harder every time instead of being diffused and whatnot, but sometimes I can't help but give one of the songs a listen.
Same here ..it like innocence lost ..but remembered
if you’re an adult, you feel it for a reason
It’s called anemoia it’s pretty interesting
The older I get without kids and partner the sadder this song becomes.
If you're reading this during this awful time I hope you have an amazing Christmas with your loved ones and don't give up😉
gratitude to the Lord for letting me be here on Christmas day when so many friends of mine are long passed..I am listening to this beautiful song right now so my departed friends can hear it through my ears
Good to have you.
Trev Mac boomer
They cant hear but God bless you
I know they can
Amen Bro, You and me both
The simplicity of the past when children could be children, the Christmas holiday was precious and Charlie Brown just wanted to know the meaning of it all.
I wish I was a kid again.
This song wasn't just for kids it was for everybody i miss watching charlie brown when Christmas came this makes me cry😢
don't know why this song ia so tender & melancholic at the same time. it's so beauty!
Perfect call..melancholy yet so absolutely beautiful
Tender and melancholic at the same time. A perfect summing up -- in so few words -- of the "beauty" of this song. Just posted a note this night on its origin. -- Mark B of the frozen North
Why yes, I am listening to this song in the middle of August
Getting alot of nostalgia from this
Merry Christmas everyone. I woke up today and felt the urge to listen to this. And immediately cried. To everyone spending Christmas alone today for whatever reason, you are loved and I’m here to wish you a merry Christmas and a healthy happy new year 💕
Merry Christmas :)
God bless you
This makes me want to cry
know exactly what you mean robert. christmas is looked at as a jolly time of year, but this song has such a grainy, nostalgic vibe to it… can't help but reminisce of christmas' gone by when I listen to it… absolutely love this album!
+robert asher This makes me actually cry.
You and me both Robert.!
I thought I was the only one this song did that to.
This song digs into the soul something deep. It’s leaves me feeling warm but alone at the same time
Yes it really does. Times long past before this country lost its mind.
I love how you describe this as warm yet alone. I feel so melancholy and almost feel an emotional pit when I hear this song, but the song and what it makes you feel is so beautiful; I’ll never be able to fully describe that feeling but it makes me want to cry even though I’m someone who struggles to ever feel any emotion and it reminds me of the beautiful times I spent with so many people during Christmas, and how much I loved those times, and how I can never get those back
How blessed were we to have this innocent childhood memory? 62 years+, and it just takes me back to a time that I can't believe existed, given this completely foreign world we now live in.
We lived in a country at that time full of the greatest generation they had hopes dreams and passes that to us. We've seen the decay since the 2000s
it’s Christmas time again. i could not get this song out of my head and i had to play it. it’s so peaceful and yet also somber in a way. it reminds me of when things were good
EXACTLY 🙏🏿💞

Such spirit through the year

You wrote a hit, brother! Ha! Great lyrics. Vince G was the jazz man
The best Christmas song ever, I can't wait until Christmas Eve this year. The smell of winter the Christmas lights. Everything about Christmas is beautiful.
Be careful what you wish for, too not appreciate every second you survive is truly the human burden. Live every moment as its last, eat every meal as if on death row, and hug people close to you in a dying embrace. I wish you a happy life of living inside the current moment.

it's october, why am I listening to this.....
Unknown ah another one listening to this in October
Dude it’s almost summer
This whole soundtrack brings me back to being a kid. We were poor, and my Dad could never afford to give us much, but it never mattered because we all had each other. We're all grown now, with our own lives and families and Christmas traditions. But every time I watch this special or listen to its soundtrack, I'm brought back to a much simpler time. It's a real bittersweet feeling.
yeah...
i miss being at my grandma's old apartment and opening presents and seeing snoopy.. always put a smile on my face
I'm just waiting to take a walk on a snowy night and play this. Idk why this song is so beautiful and truly encaptures the feeling of the season for me. Very melancholy yet serene. Awesome song
There is something special about the music that Vince Guaraldi made for us. Personally, this music resonates with me at a level from my childhood; times remembered when Christmas always took too long to come and passed by too fast, the T.V. specials we all waited for with anticipation, the smell of grandma’s house Christmas evening. This music is my time machine for carefree memories and winter days. I see my mother taking pictures with a camera that had the disposable flashes that rotated for the next picture. My father, putting together toys and bikes for my brother and I. Of all the music I enjoy, Vince’s has the unique ability to transport me back to those days when mom and dad were still mommy and daddy. I do miss them so…
beautifully put, my friend...
Rosa Barrera Thank you!
Beautiful :)
It seems to take less time to come and pass by even more quickly as you get older. I'm 17, and it's *already* happening.
Zibenlurr that is so beautiful.!!
As children, we were happy because we had nothing else to lose.
It is to our horror when we learn why all those adults were so sad.
And it is to our horror when it is longer we but they.
The days crept away. We were slowly stripped of who we were.
We are frogs boiled-cooked, sad, and dead.
Maybe that's why some of the adults hate children,
They didn't hate us back then, they envied us.
Why is such a small portion of life more significant than the rest?
Are the later days meant for us to wallow in the past?
Maybe it's because we can't let go. Those memories.
And so as we forget to let go we lose what children have.
Nothing.
But.
Potential.
Jesus, well fml
I’m 18 years old but I’m holding on to my childhood as long as I can.
I envy you guys because I never had the childhood you guys had. So much more pain -working toward achieving a modicum of peace now that I've attained adulthood.

You need to write a book
It’s July rightnow and it’s pretty hot outside, perfect time for a day at the beach or a swim at the pool with a nice family bbq. Although it’s summer I always love to listen to these jewls because they remind me that the holidays are just around the corner. I always look forward to Christmas time because atleast for me, I can say it’s my favorite time of the year. Songs like these make the holidays 100x better and they leave you beautiful memories for years to come.
I do love summer and Christmas too
I wish a Charlie Brown Christmas would come back onto regular television the way you use to be.
Like seriously, I know I'm not the only one that miss watching this.
I can't believe Apple tv Plus.
Don’t feel like Christmas will feel the same my family is completely torn. All I have is this music and the vibe what Christmas should’ve been
What a sad, nostalgic, beautiful song
Jack Morrison I know! I love it! I don't like the other versions. This version, with the children's voices - it gives it such a lovely, wistful quality. It really is a tearjerker. Of course, in the cartoon as this is playing, they were ice-skating, and Snoopy gets into it grabbing Linus's blanket and Charlie Brown gets caught in it - so you have this really funny scene going on, too!
I like the instrumental version better.
I would say nostalgic and evocative.
Such a beautifully melancholy song that completely captures this time of year.
This will always remind me of simpler times that we’ll never get back. 💔
Every time I listen to this I get the urge to cry
i'm crying right now

It's crazy seeing the older adults, and the younger people like me hear listening. Peanuts held such a huge part in my life, and it made me happy to see it affected everyone in this comment sectiont he same. This song touches everyone the same, and I hope it can touch the future generation the same
Brings me right back to my youth, a tear in my eye.......
Thank you Cynthia, I totally agree.....our youth and no worries, best times ever :)
Charlie Brown's Christmas. When it was new. Sitting on the end of my parents' king-sized bed with the blue cover. Always on the end because I never wore my glasses. Not until my 20s. I can still see every bit of my parents' bedroom. Every bit of that entire house. And at Christmastime, the same decorations in the same spots. I loved that actually. Tradition. As this song is, for me, to listen to.
Such wonderful memories Marianne.....thanks for sharing girl :)
:) Marry Christmas, Hunnie B

This song makes me cry because it beautiful
Love you
Christmas day 2023... this feeling never leaves
Reminds me of being a kid back in ‘67. Christmas in Michigan was always a beautiful time.
Just about 30 minutes left on Christmas 2021 And sitting with my baby dog in the living room lit only by the Christmas tree giving a warmth to the room on a cold Chicago night. My mom is sitting on the other couch looking over her phone. The TV is off and it’s peaceful. Family has gone home and the house just creaks a bit between the quiet noises of Emmy chewing on her raw hide stick. This song fills the air and I type this comment as a memory to look back on next year and maybe the year after that and maybe the year after the year after. I wonder where I will be on Christmas night a year from now. I know I’ve been listening to this song since I was a kid and suspect wherever I am when I play this I will be in the same mental space I’ve created out of years of memories with this soundtrack of many Christmases. The magic of Christmas was strong in me as a child and as I’ve grown it hasn’t faded. Although I no longer care to get gifts I just appreciate the time with family. I didn’t understand that as a kid even though the adults did. Now that I’ve grown up it’s the time with family and the years I hope to have left with my folks that I appreciate. Moms Christmas cookies always bring a smile to my face. Merry Christmas everyone. -Daniel 12/25/2021 11:30PM Geneva, IL-
Hello Chicago....A Merry Christmas to you from Westwold, BC Canada
I currently just finished watching A Charlie Brown Christmas, im sleepy on my bed while listening to this.
Really love how warm this song feels, makes me wanna see the snow falling while slowly falling asleep on a couch.
as i get older, christmas becomes less and less magical. I miss these old christmas traditions. i miss the happy christmas'. I remember sitting down to watch the peanuts specials, listening to the music, cooking good food and putting up the tree. I'm 18 and this will be my 3rd christmas without a tree or gifts or yummy food. i know im older now, and i shouldnt be this nostalgic about these things, but winter time isnt a happy time anymore... not like it used to be.
😭😭I remember this song when I was younger omg this is my fav song of all time and I watch charli brown back in 2018 we watch every Christmas and thanksgiving 😢😢😢 i miss this move and song
I want to point out that maybe the reason we all smile and cry is because suddenly we get nostalgic and feel like we’re children in a world where we can’t even preserve our children and their innocent nature. Adults are never given a chance to feel this way year round. And this song coddles you and let’s you get transported to a time where Christmas time was a special day. Even if your Christmas time was never great it made you imagine like there was one. Adults wanting to be children. Children wanting to be adults. It’s all the same. Who has more freedom? This song is a Christmas song but I listen to it year round to remind myself that when I want to, I can go back to when I was 7 years old and desperately waiting by the tree. I can’t remember the last time I ever laughed and smiled and felt happiness without worrying anymore. I wish I could have more of those moments as I deserve them. You guys deserve them too. Don’t forget about yourselves. Don’t forget your inner child. They’re JUST as important.
Sitting here with an awful cold, listening to this music and drawing.
I could do without the cold, but I'm so so happy right now 😊
I miss being a kid in Christmas. Yeah we were poor.. but I just miss the holiday feeling.
it wouldnt be christmas without this :)
This song always reminds me of Christmases and winters where I would go out with my friends and sled or skate. Back when I didn't have to worry about exams or school coming up after. No cares in the world.
that's nice
these days my friends don't know how to have fun without using their smartphone...
Deep... Sad... But true. Sometimes I wish that smartphones never existed...
aesthetic that's what really makes me so sad about this song...
Why do you spell your username wrong?
Yeah. I'm in my last year of HS, the finals are, well, they're really long. The schoolday is short.
i love this song, it makes me feel so melancholy and sad though, Christmas is my favorite time of year but when you have no one to share it with it makes you feel... sad.... and melancholy.
It’s not even Christmas and I’m listening to this
I grew up a Jehovah's Witness so I never celebrated Christmas as a kid but I still watched Charlie Brown specials. This song takes me back to the innocence when I didn't have a care in the world. I can feel the /happiness/sadness/nostalgia all balled up together in my chest the whole time I'm listening to it.
It's not even Halloween yet, but here I am. I can't help myself...
+Taberah2001 Not even thanksgiving, but look where I am. Preach it boi
March :(
June 9th,2016
June 25th, halfway to Christmas, Leon Day will have to do for today
...and here I am again. Only 177 more days to go.
Listening to this brings me back to being a little girl, looking out the window, on my bed, and watching the snow fall. I had my own personal Christmas tree in my room, shining. The Christmas lights outside were glowing, softly. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of Santa‘s sleigh.( Even if it was December 20th. I was always watching...just in case.)
I miss being a kid too
@@jeffreywilliams8499 we all do
your own tree in your room.. how cool is that !!! =)
I find this super relaxing in a way. makes me remember how magical Christmas felt as a kid and still does. I'm 36 and I have watched Charlie brown my entire life around the holidays and Christmas was always my favorite. Christmas was also my grandmas favorite holiday and her tree was always so beautiful. Grandma passed this summer and I have her tree and it's currently set up and beautiful. Seeing it makes me happy and I know she's with me.
What a beautiful song
It's late march and I'm laying in my bed at 11:00pm. I made the terrible decision to listen to this song... ten seconds in and I'm balling my eyes out. Christmas is truly the most wonderful time of the year, and I miss the feeling, I miss the music, the happiness that comes along with it. Most of all I miss my grandma, who I called Boppy. she loved christmas so so much...in January 2017 was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. We visited her so many times during her last months, but she wasn't the same Boppy I had known my whole life. the last time I saw her when she was truly herself was when her and my grandpa came to visit for Christmas. I payed plenty of attention to her, sure, but i can't help but wish that I talked to a little more, told her I loved her a few more times. :(
Ok now I'm really sobbing so uh merry Christmas and goodbye
I’m sorry for your loss, hope you find tranquility
