A Charlie Brown Christmas Tree to go with the Charlie Brown Christmas DVD
Some call the classic by its actual title “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” and others refer to it by the memorable line that comes at the end of the DVD, “Merry Christmas Charlie Brown.”
We all love Charlie Brown’s tree:
A Charlie Brown’s Christmas first aired on TV in 1965. It’s been a part of our Christmas holiday celebrations ever since. There hasn’t been one single year when we didn’t watch it.
We’ve turned this classic into a part of our Christmas Tradition; when we’re putting up the Christmas Tree, it’s mandatory in our home to have this Christmas Special playing.
We’ve watched it so often that we know practically every single line, and part of the fun is blurting outlines before one of the Peanuts does, that’s IT !!’ <–as Lucy says to Charlie Brown.
One of the famous scenes is when Charlie Brown visits Lucy’s psychiatric booth; he’s down in the dumps and can’t figure out why, so Lucy starts listing an assortment of phobias to help him pinpoint and label his fears;
1) Afraid of responsibility – Hypengyophobia
2) or Ailurophasia, the fear of cats
3) How about Climacophobia, the fear of staircases
4) Maybe it was the fear of the ocean, Thalassophobia
5) Could have been Gephyrophobia, the fear of crossing bridges
Then she asks one final question …”Do you have Pantophobia?” at which point Charlie Brown proceeds to ask, ‘what’s Pantophobia?’… Lucy then informs him that it’s ‘the fear of everything’ – Charlie Brown shouts, “THAT’s IT!”, causing Lucy to backflip out of her chair! At least Charlie Brown found his answer!

I love the “THAT’S IT!” scene, too. Watching the movie is a wonderful tradition. There’s nothing not to like about Charlie Brown and everything to love, especially at Christmas!
Susan, so true! it’s a big part of Christmas for a lot of people – I guess it will live on forever 🙂
