Who remembers this Christmas classic from the 60s?

I always loved how they danced. I dance like that when alone in my kitchen...fun!

1. Me!

I could probably mouth along with all the dialogue.

Lucy wanting Linus to play Jingle Bells …

3. Really? I still have it saved on my DVR

from last year, along with the original The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. I used to read that to my 1st graders as well as Eloise at Christmastime and Rudolph (I have a discarded copy from Montgomery Ward's original printing from 1939 but some kid scribbled in it). My class celebrated big time. Christmas caroling was funny when they sang the 12 Days.... one kid thought it was "4 turtle ducks" and the kid next to him would gently hit him when he sang it incorrectly. I still laugh at that video.

4. Yep.

It’s in HD and comes in 22 different languages either dubbed or with subtitles.

5. That would have been cool to show to my class

since there were about 3-4 langages spoken in my class at any given moment. A very multi-cultural class. The kids from the Filipines really celebrated a lot. They would bring in all kinds of stuff to share.

6. This whole...

Song set and the Nutcracker Suite are the absolute necessary music for this holiday for me. It's not christmas without them. Oh, and Carol of the Bells.

7. I used to have a regular gig at a German restaurant in Hot Springs, Arkansas.

Every time I played the Peanuts Theme Song, the waitstaff & bartenders would set down their serving trays or stop whatever they were doing and do the dance, each doing whichever dance they loved. The first time it happened I nearly fell out laughing. They were absolutely hilarious and cute as could be!

Good times! 😎

9. Not quite the same thing, but your post triggered a memory.

Many years ago, my wife and I and 14 others were an an American Express tour in China. One night the group had dinner in a restaurant in Shanghai. It was a nice restaurant, and there was a string quartet. Near the end of the meal, apparently in honor of the westerners, they began playing Western music — Christmas music — in August, with the temperature and humidity in the 90s.
