Did You Know?

Yesterday, I picked up my granddaughter, Andi, from school. On the ride home she kept talking about “additions,” and how we need to start a new addition at Christmas.

Believe me, I had no idea what she was talking about, and so I started asking her questions to clarify. Finally, I realized she was saying TRADITIONS.

I began to talk about the traditions we do already. One tradition that many families participate in is watching A Charlie Brown Christmas.

A Charlie Brown Christmas is a 1965 animated television special, and is the first TV special based on the comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Shulz. The program made its debut on CBS on December 9, 1965.
In this special Charlie Brown finds himself depressed despite the onset of the cheerful holiday season. Lucy suggests he direct a neighborhood Christmas play, but his best efforts are ignored and mocked by his peers.
After Linus tells Charlie Brown about the true meaning of Christmas, Charlie Brown cheers up, and the Peanuts gang unites to celebrate the Christmas season.

To commemorate A Charlie Brown Christmas we had commissioned a coloring page, using the Andi and James characters from the Kinder Church 2.0 curriculum, to include in our Christmas Activities Bundle.
