Quote of the Day, 12/22/06: Charlie Brown Christmas

My favorite Christmas cartoon is A Charlie Brown Christmas. From Snoopy's skating, to Sally's letter to Santa, to Charlie Brown's wonderful tree, to Linus's telling of the Christmas story... it's all good. If you agree, you might want to check out this book as well.

Sally: Dear Santa Claus, How have you been? Did you have a nice summer? How is your wife? I have been extra good this year, so I have a long list of presents that I want. Please note the size and color of each item, and send as many as possible. If it seems too complicated, make it easy on yourself: just send money. How about tens and twenties?
...

Sally: All I want is what I have coming to me. All I want is my fair share.
...

Linus: Of all the Charlie Browns in the world, you are the Charlie Browniest.
...

Lucy: What has Beethoven got to do with Christmas? Everyone talks about how "great" Beethoven was. Beethoven wasn't so great.

Schroeder: What do you mean Beethoven wasn't so great?

Lucy: He never got his picture on bubble gum cards, did he? Have you ever seen his picture on a bubble gum card? Hmmm? How can you say someone is great who's never had his picture on bubble gum cards?
...

Lucy: You DO think I'm beautiful, don't you, Charlie Brown? ... You didn't answer me right away. You had to think about it first, didn't you? If you really had thought I was beautiful, you would've spoken right up. I know when I've been insulted. I KNOW WHEN I'VE BEEN INSULTED.
