As you can see, I have not been keeping up with my declared "holiday thanksgiving posts". I didn't think anyone would be bothered by it. Thankfully, only about 5 people read this. I really hope it's no more than 5, including myself.
Aha. I love A Charlie Brown Christmas. Indeed, I am very thankful for Charles Schwartz creating one of the most iconic, yet understated associations with Christmas. I cannot leave out Vince Guaraldi in my gratitude rant. I simply cannot. Listening to jazzy Christmas music can only be stated as such: leaves me feeling as warm as a cashmere blanket nested under a puppy and leaves me with the sensation that I am home- content to stay, content to be.
I must admit, back at college I used to play this Charlie Brown soundtrack even in the spring time. Mind you, it's only appropriate as study or sleep music when you are alone with your string lights. It's not college party music. However, you know that already. :) Bottom line, this music makes me feel nestled, safe, and I dare say it- quirky. Yes, I said quirky. Is it because I associate "Christmas Time Is Here (Instrumental Version)" with "The Royal Tenenbaums"? Maybe so. I like it whether Wes Anderson told his Music Editor to put it in the movie.
