"A Charlie Brown Christmas," based on the Peanuts comic strip by Charles Schulz, was a one-of-a-kind wonder when it premiered on television in 1965, and remains so almost 60 years later. Unlike the other jingle-belled baubles that television throws down the chimney each year, it is melancholy and meditative. The animation is minimalist and subdued, full of grays and wafting snowflakes.
