The same with me. When I think of my childhood Christmases, this track and "Christmas Time is Here" from the same special are the first songs that come to mind. There's nothing better.
The kids have finished opening the presents, the food is put away in the fridge, everyone is off doing their own thing... and you're sitting back, enjoying yet another year you've been granted here on this planet. God bless, all. Merry Christmas!
When it comes to Christmas jazz, Vince is the man. I hope the Good Lord Jesus won't mind the saints in heaven being able to listen to the archives of Vince. I'm pretty sure Vince arranged these sweet melodies with a heart of worship. 🙂
Vince doesn't get nearly enough recognition for his incredible scores for the Peanuts specials and films. Everybody thought his score would never work but he proved them all wrong and showed why Charles Schultz had faith in him.
Can you tell us more? While I’ve known about Vince G since college, I’ve never heard any backstories about the soundtracks. Who thought it wouldn’t work? Please,we would love to hear more.
@@edlawrence6553 For the first Peanuts special (A Charlie Brown Christmas), there were a lot of things Charles Schultz pushed hard for that networks and studio executives thought would never work. Charles wanted actual kids to do the voices for all the Penauts characters (a tradition that continues to this day despite having to frequently recast the roles), wanted Vince to compose the soundtrack entirely on his own and most importantly wanted to include the true meaning of Christmas with the bible passage Linus quotes.
Thank you @@georgetunstill2341 & @Erzahler for your cool comments--Vince also introduced me to jazz through all of the specials as well as through other artists like Muddy Waters, Manhattan Transfer, etc.
@@georgetunstill2341 Lee Mendelson hand picked Vince Guaraldi to do the music and he was glad to do it because he was a Peanuts fan. Seriously so many things came together to make such a classic batch of art. All the specials are great and I really love The Great Pumpkin Waltz maybe the most of all. Can't go wrong with any of his Peanuts work though really.
Whenever I hear this rendition of "Oh Christmas Tree" by Vince Guaraldi, I'm a kid again living at 6-B Civic Park Apartments in 1969. It's just not Christmas unless I hear this rendition. At Christmas time, we could hardly wait to see "A Charlie Brown Christmas " on TV. I really miss those days.
@@ulyssesgrant2782 I first saw Charlie Brown Christmas sometime in the mid 90s and I totally agree with you. It is not Christmas until you hear this soundtrack and watch that special. I remember watching it every year with my family, along with the Rankin-Bass Rudolph special and How The Grinch Stole Christmas! Charlie Brown Christmas will never get old. Sure it may be a bit dated but that's what makes it special. I love the limited animation.
I was born in 1964 so I literally grew up with Charlie Brown particularly the Christmas episode. Whenever I hear this classic beautiful music I am a child again. Very sweet and sad . Sublime melancholy echoed for all of us now as adults. God bless Vince Guaraldi and Charles Schultz. God bless us all everyone!
Dude this song reminds me of every Christmas when I was a child. We watched Charlie Brown every year. I was putting up my Christmas tree the other day & when I finished, I said, “Oh Christmas tree oh Christmas tree “ & I thought about them standing around the tree. Omgggg it makes me wanna cry!!! Time flies too fast. I can’t remember the last time I saw Charlie Brown 😢
The program itself has been a timeless classic and seasonal favourite since my father was a child. I truly hope they don't stop airing the re-runs every Christmas.
+RedBaronFilms1918 Are you kidding? CBS will never drop it. Ever. In fact, the 50th Anniversary Special will be this Monday featuring a host of special guests, including President Obama doing his best "teacher voice" impression.
+Hector Griffin I enjoyed it immensely. If there is one complaint -- only one -- there was nobody over 35 on the show. I can't understand why the networks are so insistent on kids, kids, kids these days. Nothing against them, but I long for the days when older entertainers like Bing Crosby paired with newcomers like David Bowie for example. Even today it's done on a limited basis -- Lady Gaga paired with Tony Bennett. That show needed more of that. Just my opinion.
I'm a sentimental old softie. This whole album takes me back to my childhood, when life (well, some of it) was soft and kind and gentle, especially around Christmas. This music is pure comfort for me. I.can sit in the dark and listen to this (sometimes with an extremely flammable beverage by my side) and the cat in my lap, and this music makes me feel warm and safe. Thank you Vince, wherever you may be, for this lingering gift of comfort and joy.
The pairing of Guarldi’s melancholy jazz and Charlie Brown is perfection. They were made for one another and the Christmas special would not have achieved its iconic status without this combination.
My dude, I have a huge family that would be more than willing to accept you with open arms. There is no reason that you should spend Christmas alone. Holler at me, my dude
There is nothing wrong with spending Christmas alone. Imagine forcing yourself to endure a time with people you cannot stand for the sake of tradition? That is far more alone, if you ask me. You are better people now that you are away from that negativity. And it's okay if it hurts - it really is. Because that means that you have a heart in you. It's more than what others can offer this world Keep being you, it's gotten you this far after all.
***** Actually, friend, I appreciate your attempt to call someone out. I was presenting a hypothetical situation. Perhaps I should have reworded it so there was no confusion? I was offering a word of encouragement. No I was not talking about myself but of others who I do know in such a situation. Please be careful about making assumptions like that.
Unfortunately the context of text does a disservice to tone. I had meant to only offer encouragement. But it seems it's gone a rougher path. I apologize.
I would like to thank Vince and his trio for introducing me to jazz so many years ago. I would have given anything to have this album when I was a kid.
At the end of a long Christmas day, when all the presents have been opened, and the food eaten, and you're sitting back in a plush recliner, tired but happy and reflective, this is the only song you need. It closes Christmas with a sentimental mood for memories stored and recalled.
I’m 39 years old and every time I hear this song, I think I’m sitting in the lobby of a very nice hotel in a big city sipping a glass of bourbon in a nice suit just enjoying the last remnants of the night before I go to bed during Christmas. Such a classic.
It’s 2022, I was born in 2002, and 2004 i was in Lebanon. I cried as soon as this soundtrack started playing because i re experience and relive a happy memory where we it used to be my mom, my dad, my brother, our 3 cats and 2 dogs in front of the TV living room, watching Charlie Brown Christmas special. And it was simply the easier times. Before more fucked up family relationships and life struggles came to arise and became a part of my consciousness. Which makes this comment all that more saddening to write. And that this will soon be a present moment that will become past as soon as you finish reading this “now comment”. The Charlie Brown specials, weee simply nostalgic af. ✨✨✨✨ Since last year’s October, my mom and I had to move into a new house to rent. Because our landlord was a jerk, very demanding for more money that then became unaffordable for my mom to pay rent. So yeah. We had all pur furniture moved to a new house in the same country: Lebanon. So life was different and it was so sad to say goodbye to pur house. Seeing it get very emptied. I took pictures of each of the rooms before they were all emptied. As memory and to write about it all in my future autobiography.❤✨✨✨
Guys!!! Seriously!!!! Y'all need remidial Charlie Brown 101. Linus isn't the blockhead, it's Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown says the line about commercialism and Christmas. It's a Charlie Brown's Christmas not Linus's. Go watch it again y'all. Right now. Go!!!!! Ok, welcome back, feel better??? Got it all straight???? Good. Merry Christmas y'all!!!!!
Every score composed by Vince Guaraldi in "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is wonderful. This, along with the instrumental version of "Christmastime is Here" is probably my favorite score in the special. It's so relaxing, soothing and calm.
This song reminds me of christmas at my old house, the snow, when my dad would play jazz music around the house, getting and decorating the christmas tree, opening presents and just a super nostalgic song. It will forever have a spot in my heart. Edit: also plowing snow.
Did you know that the Charlie Brown Christmas special was rejected at first by CBS: they didn't like that amateur children were doing the voices, they didn't like the "anti-consumerism" theme of the plot -- and they didn't like the music.
I'm so glad that blew up in their faces when it became their most popular and classic show ever to the point where they're in huge trouble if they don't air it =)
What I love about Vince Guaraldi and "A Charlie Brown Christmas": I get older, and this music stays the same age. And with every new year and Christmas time bringing joy and melancholy wrapped up together like always, it's here for me again. Happy Holidays, everyone!
"I never thought it was such a bad little tree......(straightens up tree and wraps blanket around the base) It's not bad at all, really. Maybe it just needs a little love."
Can't believe I grew up watching this since 1999 now I'll be 18 in a few months and sharing this legendary movie with my kids in the future wow time flies
Every year, this CD set is played at my place while we put up Christmas decorations. This and some real egg nog, almond toffee, and curling up in a blanket.
I bought this album on vinyl because I love it so much. This album takes me back to watching this show at Christmas time and spending time w/ family. Thank you, VG Trio for this masterpiece
Whenever I listen to this album I'm transported back to when I was a kid. My dad wanted to be a composer in college so he loves piano music and always played the Charlie brown Christmas album while cooking dinner and my house just was filled with Christmas spirit. The snow falling outside, a cozy fireplace and Christmas decorations inside. Makes me nostalgic every time I listen to it and almost sad at how much I miss those times as a kid. Yet that magic and happiness always returns whenever I play this music. My Dad knows how much I love it so it's a tradition to play this album throughout the house whenever it's Christmas time. So THANK YOU Vince Guaraldi for all of this timeless music that no matter how many times you listen to it you don't lose the magic. God Bless.
We've been through a lot during this pandemic, lost loved ones, gotten sick. But we still stand, this song is making my day better. Thank you so much Vince, for giving me a great childhood, with this song.
Today is the tenth of December, 2020. In a crazy year, I have retreated back to my childhood, and I find that I have no regrets for my decision. Merry Christmas everyone.
Who doesn't just love this album. The memories of watching A Charlie Brown's Christmas every year during those special years of childhood and my dad putting this record on a few times throughout the holiday season...the memories just come pouring out.
I remember vividly hearing this as a child, wondering at the time what that beautiful drum sound was. I've loved the brushes on snare from that day on, and this is still the best jazz I've ever heard.
Umm who would dislike this. this classic sound that everyones loves and remembers. Every time i listen to this song it makes me fell warm inside. I cannot believe that 900 people took time out of their day to dislike this. What a shame.
RIP Greg Duch Memories of drinking and great debates and musical conversations with you. The one year Xmas felt like Xmas and it was actually cold enough to ice skate. I'll always remember that. Miss you my friend.
Still listening in 2023! 🎄

Same man, instead of classic Christmas music my family would play this every Christmas. I'm so glad they did.
Copy that!
@Colin Henderson as a 2000s kid, Vince, and Charlie Brown Christmas is extremely nostalgic to me. It was a tremendous part of my childhood.

No one has ever made a Christmas Carol swing like Vince Guaraldi. What a great jazz musician he was!

Im 16 and my family always watches those those specials on the days leading up to Christmas :D so Charlie Brown and Rudolph are nostalgic for me too
The power of a trio of great musicians is wide and deep. These guys make it look easy to swing so freely.
Vince Guaraldi died too young, but he is immortalized in this beautiful music.
That's right he really was Joe Cool.
I don't care how stressed out I am or what time of the year it is. Vince Guaraldi can always put me in the Christmas spirit

They didn't know how much it would remain in people's hearts
And the religious part
They also wanted a laugh track, but Mendelson rejected that
They treated the special like what the kids did to Charlie Brown's tree... They criticized it...

I do the same thing too. After getting the tree decorated, I will sit down with a cup of hot chocolate.
World Class jazz and I learned it thanks to Charlie Brown..
Who would've thought combining jazz and christmas music would create something pure and soothing.
I bought this album on vinyl because I love it so much. This album takes me back to watching this show at Christmas time and spending time w/ family. Thank you, VG Trio for this masterpiece
Same here. so calming and nostalgic. Simpler times, sigh...
A Christmas classic that still lives on, as it rightfully should.
I love this version of Oh Christmas Tree! Nothing can beat the magic of Charlie Brown and Linus searching for the perfect Christmas Tree.

LIKE IT. NOW.
"That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown."
Its February and I'm still listening...its snowing and freezing in Switzerland
Whenever I listen to this album I'm transported back to when I was a kid. My dad wanted to be a composer in college so he loves piano music and always played the Charlie brown Christmas album while cooking dinner and my house just was filled with Christmas spirit. The snow falling outside, a cozy fireplace and Christmas decorations inside. Makes me nostalgic every time I listen to it and almost sad at how much I miss those times as a kid. Yet that magic and happiness always returns whenever I play this music. My Dad knows how much I love it so it's a tradition to play this album throughout the house whenever it's Christmas time.
So THANK YOU Vince Guaraldi for all of this timeless music that no matter how many times you listen to it you don't lose the magic. God Bless.
This will always be my favorite Christmas soundtrack!
We've been through a lot during this pandemic, lost loved ones, gotten sick. But we still stand, this song is making my day better. Thank you so much Vince, for giving me a great childhood, with this song.
Well said.
This is absolute musical perfection. I could listen to this forever.
00:27 That precise chord voicing, descending from major to 7th, was the official birth of my awareness of the power of jazz as a child
Nothing like listening to this on Dec 1st.
The best time of the year is here.
Today is the tenth of December, 2020. In a crazy year, I have retreated back to my childhood, and I find that I have no regrets for my decision. Merry Christmas everyone.
i cried tears of nostalgia
I didn't really cry but I hope others did when the Peanuts Movie came out on this day last year
CLASSIC CHRISTMAS!!!
U LIKE THIS TOOO???
U comment all over sssniperwolfs videos
Omg you too!!!!!!!??????? If you do then…oh no
I always loved it when Linus recited that scripture from the bible. Amazing! ✝️✝️✝️
And CBS wanted Schulz to cut it from the show because it was too RELIGIOUS- UNBELIEVABLE !!
My mom says my brother is like Linus when he lectures at church.
Just lovely, brings me back to my childhood.
Froliche Weihnachten Vince Guaraldi, du musik ist Sehr gut. 🎄🇩🇪🇺🇸🎁 🎶
Who doesn't just love this album. The memories of watching A Charlie Brown's Christmas every year during those special years of childhood and my dad putting this record on a few times throughout the holiday season...the memories just come pouring out.
I listen to this every year to start my Christmas season right
Love it! I even bought a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree that plays their ¨happy dance¨song!
Cool!
I remember vividly hearing this as a child, wondering at the time what that beautiful drum sound was. I've loved the brushes on snare from that day on, and this is still the best jazz I've ever heard.
count me in
Umm who would dislike this. this classic sound that everyones loves and remembers. Every time i listen to this song it makes me fell warm inside. I cannot believe that 900 people took time out of their day to dislike this. What a shame.
RIP Greg Duch
Memories of drinking and great debates and musical conversations with you. The one year Xmas felt like Xmas and it was actually cold enough to ice skate. I'll always remember that. Miss you my friend.
Makes me want to dance around my doghouse.

The Charlie Brown Christmas music and Elvis Christmas music.....absolutely the best ever.....reminds me of being a kid!!!
