In fact, if you're going to go as far as having someone straight up read the Book of Luke to you, you couldn't ask for a better metaphor for a child born unto a carpenter in the humble surroundings of a manger who would grow up to bear the sins of man than a tiny, unappreciated sapling, unable to support even a single crimson bauble.Īnd yet, when the Peanuts gang finally does come to appreciate Charlie Brown's tree, it's not for the tree that it is.
Not because of the tree itself, you understand. The only problem is that poor, pathetic Christmas tree. It even manages to be so well-crafted that a climax where someone literally steps into a spotlight to read Bible verses about the birth of Jesus doesn't feel heavy-handed or preachy, even if Linus does come off a little smug about it.
