A Charlie Brown Christmas

Question: If Linus knows the true meaning of Christmas, why didn't he tell Charlie Brown what it was when Charlie Brown brought up his feelings of depression earlier in the special?

Rob245

Answer: He never asked about the "true" meaning of Christmas, only that he was depressed about it. He didn't have the Xmas spirit. The feelings of love and compassion. He was talking about Santa Claus and gift-giving, but Linus told him what Christmas is all about.

Continuity mistake: In the same scene at Lucy's Psychiatric Help stand in which the Doctor is both "in" and "real in", the word "Doctor" also moves around on the sign at one point. (00:04:40)
