shareI wrote an in-depth scientific analysis of this episode in another thread. I'll post it here:
He (Woodstock) devours that turkey with glee...what a monster! I'll bet that when the kids get to "grandmother's" house she cooks and eats one of them...probably Lucy since she mysteriously disappears in thie episode. She is on a serving platter with an apple in her mouth.
And another thing, why didn't Snoopy make a real dinner, he saved that s**t for himself and Woodstock, almost causing Charlie Brown to get the beatdown of a lifetime right in his own backyard.
And what is with Snoopy fighting a lawn chair! Who the hell keeps an alive lawn chair with obvious attack tendencies in their garage?!? Someone could have been seriously injured....although they would have deserved it because you could tell by the way the lawnchair had the garage set up that it was in its natural habitat. Snoopy's lucky he didn't get dealt with.
And another thing, who keeps 11 toasters in their house? I'll tell you who, Charlie Brown's Dad....who is very clearly a wife murderer and has been remarried 11 times.
Oh and Peppermint Patty is a lesbo.
Oh no! We broke Mom's favorite vase playing basketball in the house!

It was supposed to be funny. I had no problem with either segment. But I'll tell you this: I read a paperback edition of this special and they were cut.
shareI disagree. I thought "Little Birdie" was a cool song and found the sequence with the folding chair to be downright hilarious.
"We're all part Shatner/And part James Dean/Part Warren Oates/And Steven McQueen"
I watched this with a group of kindergartners this past week, and they
thought the folding-chair scene was a riot; they were literally screaming
with laughter. Gee, here's a thought--maybe Schulz made this cartoon to be
enjoyed mainly by kids?
A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS has a more adult appeal. WARNING--I wouldn't
advise anyone to watch the version being broadcast on ABC next week, as it's
given only a half-hour time slot. That means either cuts, or a speeded-up
version, both of which are a disgrace. Stick to a DVD viewing.
I'm not crying, you fool, I'm laughing!
That what animation experimented with in the 1970's, bringing inanimate objects to life.
shareI don't think so. I guess it was just supposed to be like the Laurel and Hardy and 3 Stooges moments where they can't get simple tasks done without problems.
