A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965)
1 suggested correction
Directed by: Bill Melendez
Starring: Bill Melendez, Sally Dryer, Ann Altieri, Chris Doran
Continuity mistake: Charlie Brown's Christmas tree is never the same. When we first see it, it has three branches. Later, when he's carrying it, it has four branches. Then, when he tries to decorate it and it flops over, it has six branches.
Lucy Van Pelt: You think you're so smart with that blanket. What are you going to do with it when you grow up?
Linus Van Pelt: Maybe I'll make it into a sport coat.
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?
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.
