Five Thoughts on A Charlie Brown Christmas

A Charlie Brown Christmas was on last night, and I have five thoughts:

• November 28th is entirely too early to be broadcasting a Christmas Special.
• If the show took place in real life in modern times, Lucy would be arrested for practicing psychiatry without a license or, at the very least, hit with fines for practicing as an unlicensed street vendor.
• Is there anything more anachronistic in any Christmas special than the concept of the aluminum tree?
  
• Linus's explanation of the meaning of Christmas would never fly in modern times.
• You never really notice the odd cuts and the oversized can in the show until you realize that the original version had to be scrubbed of sponsorship by Coca-Cola.
