The most underrated song in jazz history. This song has everything in it, compact, efficient, exuberant, I get tears every time I hear this song. It's the power of Love descending in the Holy Spirit on Christmas Eve. I love the way much of his music just slips away at the end, seamless into eternity...this man was connected to the source.

You're in 2nd grade. Christmas break just began. You get off the school bus at your house. You run through the deep snow to your door. You get the snow off your boots and your mom is waiting for you in the kitchen. She made hot chocolate. You tell her about the Christmas party your class had that day. You tell her you can't wait to travel to see your relatives and cousins. She lets you go into the living room to watch cartoons. A few hours pass. It's night now and the snow started falling. Your mom comes downstairs. She tells you to get off the TV and either do a puzzle or decorate the house. You decide to do a Christmas puzzle. She puts on this song. She begins to decorate the house while you get the puzzle out of the box. Your dad comes home and brings dinner along with a few wrapped presents. Everyone stops to eat. You continue to work on the puzzle for the rest of the night. You go to sleep watching the snow fall outside of your window. It was a simpler time.

This music takes me back to a more innocent and simpler time. The music and all of the Peanuts scripts/movies always give a smile on my face, even in times of hardship as an adult. Charles Schultz and Vince Guaraldi will always remain with us and their legacies will last the test of time. It makes me somewhat emotional realizing that only a decade ago I was twelve. Adults have a rather complicated way of viewing the world, I wish it was otherwise. But based upon the experiences I've encountered, the childlike innocence is no longer there. It may sound depressing, but I'm in this world alone and leave alone. But like Charlie Brown, "Someday the sun will shine my way." I don't know when, but I know it when I'll feel it. And when it does, I'll reply back to this comment.

Avicenna Verne please know that though in this world you may seem alone, you are not alone. There is Father God who will be with you if you allow Him to. He'll never leave you lonely or comfortless, even when you feel like He has; He's always closer than we think. ;) Jesus loves you so much! He died so that you can have an abundant life full of worth! You are so precious to Him. I pray that you will run to the arms of the Father, they are open wide for you...

@EricBlackmonGuitar

You are so right my friend! Adults tend to view the world in the most complicated way. They seem to forget every time that every complicated thing rose from a simple concept. I teach young students every day and we get along great because I explain to them that a building starts with a brick, and music always starts with ONE NOTE. This is how we build great things. Thanks so much for reminding me to keep to this concept! Peace to you and yours always!

If you end up on an even number of clicks, you didn't vote as a like at all, because the first click turns the like on, while the second click turns it off. I think this carries on all the time, unless maybe you re-loaded your OS on your computer, because it's keeping track of you. You have only voted as a like if you have it lit blue up there. In effect, you can vote as a like a million times, and yet that blue lit like may be off (technically it would be off after a million, since one million is an even number). It's only crediting you for one vote, bad or good. To click it again merely turns either vote off.

As Christmas approaches, I felt the need to express my humble opinion regarding this music. Nostalgia pervades the music of Vince Guaraldi coupled with the work of Charles Schultz. For me, Guaraldi’s music brings me back to my youth, to a cold Christmas day, surrounded by the warmth of both the cozy fire and my ever-loving family. To a time of pure bliss, where innocence and ignorance kept my mind at ease, where worries ceased to exist. As a young adult, I carry that longing for the past, who wouldn’t? However, that being said, I know I must carry on, for I will one day be providing the same security and comfort my parents gave me to my own children, and that in itself, is pure joy. So as I sit here… listening to the music of Vince Guaraldi and pondering life, I believe the words of Nick Carrway from the brilliant novel The Great Gatsby best sums up what I’m trying to say:
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Happy Holidays to all! May the Music of Vince Guaraldi continue to bring happiness into the hearts of all!

I would do my homework and wait for my parents to come home from work. And when they did the house would wake up with lights, heat, smells from the kitchen and chatter. My mother would come home with packages and hide them... I could never find them... a few times I did but would never let myself to actually open the package because I knew that would take away the fun and excitement on Christmas Eve! My husband and I are empty nesters & semi retired. I spend many hours in my art room. This time of year Vince Guaraldi Charlie Brown Christmas music plays in the background, over and over again.

Good Morning: This sounds like skaters skating on a frozen pond, wind winding through the trees--it even "looks" like snow falling.

This song...its so weird. it only comes in the credits and I usually don't watch through the whole credits once a movie is over but here...damn. This song out of nowhere shows up and I loved the whole of it.
I didn't realize that he composed for Peanuts...what a guy!

@YuukiTakemoto1996

Don't they play it during the ice skating scene?

@asiaarctic52

@Yuuki Takemoto yes. Snoopy skates

Been searching for this song for a long time, so happy to finally have found it! Never knew it was a Christmas song, always thought of it as more of an autumn tune.

1965 was one of the most wonderful Pop Cultural years ever!

It was first broadcast on ~

One thing from that year I watch every other holiday season is the Sound of Music

The soundtrack to my childhood! When this came out, VCRs didn't even exist. When I started watching Charlie Brown Christmas in the seventies, VCRs were unaffordable. I waited all year for it! If you're in So-California, you can see Steve Siu play this at Montage in Laguna Beach. BTW, VGT was pretty unique, in that he's only a true jazz buy about half the time. The parallel thirds that make the main theme? Or particularly Linus and Lucy? True originals.

Throughout much of my life, I typically watched Peanuts holiday specials annually. This is probably my favorite song from A Charlie Brown Christmas. Even after the Peanuts holiday specials got moved to Apple TV+, I started watching them on DVD (Home videos are great; make one purchase, then you could watch a piece of media for free for the rest of your life.). Childhood was great in this sense.

I love how the cymbals sound like snow.

@roboneil408

the drummer is using "brushes" against the cymbal to make that sound.

@kamilee4123

Miles Morales Oh, ok. That's still pretty cool though.

Umm... What does snow sound like? Does it talk or something? I am at a loss.

@Andrew Tyler you don't have to be so dense, obviously "sound like snow" is hyperbole

@litleone3841

That is a true statement but overall the comment did not make verbal sense.

I do love listening to this music way more than Looney Tunes and Disney 👍

@YuukiTakemoto1996

@Average Toon Jetix XD enjoyer 2002 I love Looney Tunes, but Disney sucks as a company in general.
