"A Charlie Brown Christmas" premieres in 1965


One of the most beloved Christmas specials premiered December 9, 1965, just a mere 50 years ago.  I didn't know until today that when Linus recites the line: "Fear not, for I bring you tidings of great joy!" he drops his blanket. Very symbolic!

According to imdb.com:

Kathy Steinberg, who did the voice of Sally Brown, had not yet learned to read at the time of production, so she had to be fed her lines, often a word or syllable at a time, which explains the rather choppy delivery of the line "All I want is what I have coming to me. All I want is my fair share".
