      That's what Christmas is all about

      Linus Van Pelt:
      "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

      The importance of Christmas in the United States is self-evident. This is a happy holiday, but the whole film does have some melancholy tone. Snoopy is simply omnipotent,...

    Movie quotes

    • Lucy Van Pelt: Snoopy, you'll have to be all the animals in our play. Can you be a sheep?

      Snoopy: Baaa!

      Lucy Van Pelt: How about a cow?

      Snoopy: Moo!

      Lucy Van Pelt: How about a penguin?

      [Snoopy waddles like a penguin]

      Lucy Van Pelt: Yes, he's even a good penguin.

      Snoopy: Roar!

      [Snoopy then fights like a boxer and jumps on Lucy's head, acting like a vulture]

      Lucy Van Pelt: [throwing Snoopy off her head] No, no, no!

      [Snoopy starts mocking Lucy]

      Lucy Van Pelt: Listen, all of you! You've got to take direction! You've got to have discipline! You've got to have respect for your director!

      [notices Snoopy]

      Lucy Van Pelt: I oughta slug you!

      Lucy Van Pelt: [Snoopy licks her face] Ugh! I've been kissed by a dog! I have dog germs! Get hot water! Get some disinfectant! Get some Iodine!

      Snoopy: [Snoopy sticks out his tongue] Bleah!

    • [Charlie Brown and Linus return with the puny little tree]

      Violet: Boy, are you stupid, Charlie Brown.

      Patty: What kind of a tree is that?

      Lucy Van Pelt: You were supposed to get a *good* tree. Can't you even tell a good tree from a poor tree?

      Violet: I told you he'd goof it up. He isn't the kind you can depend on to do anything right.

      Patty: You're hopeless, Charlie Brown.

      Frieda: Completely hopeless

      Charlie Brown: [upset] Rats!

      Lucy Van Pelt: You've been dumb before, Charlie Brown, but this time, you really did it.

      [pause; then everyone bursts out laughing]

      Lucy Van Pelt: [laughing] What a tree!

    • Linus Van Pelt: [after Linus and Charlie Brown discover the little tree] Gee, do they still make wooden Christmas trees?

      Charlie Brown: This little green one here seems to need a home.

      Linus Van Pelt: I don't know, Charlie Brown. Remember what Lucy said? This doesn't seem to fit the modern spirit.

      Charlie Brown: I don't care. We'll decorate it and it'll be just right for our play. Besides, I think it needs me.

      [picks up tree; a lot of needles fall off]
