play about the Nativity. Later on he was not given to produce the play. Instead he was ordered to buy an artificial Christmas tree for the play.
He bought a little twig out of rage. Everybody humiliated him for this. He gets irritated and screams out. Linus answers him by narrating the story of the birth of Jesus. In the meantime, Snoopy decorates his doghouse with colorful lights. Charlie Brown adds a bulb on his tree, which collapses under the weight. Charlie flees in despair. Other children realised their misconduct towards Charlie Brown, and sets his tree into a brilliant Christmas display. Charlie Brown returns and finds his decorated tree with great astonishment. He becomes very happy and joins in singing the Christmas carol "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing".
Vince Guraldi and his trio composed the music of Charlie Brown Christmas Play. The renowned "Linus and Lucy" gives the Peanuts characters a fresh, energetic feel with its brilliant percussion and humorous piano lines. Fred Marshall's alluring bass lines and drummer Jerry Granelli’s hauntingly beautiful brushwork give most of the album a warm foundation. A Charlie Brown Christmas won an Emmy and a Peabody award, and is now considered a timeless holiday classic and an annual holiday tradition by millions of viewers.
