Kaboose Review: Christmas just isn’t Christmas until you’ve seen Snoopy decorate his doghouse and heard Linus recite the true meaning of the season. 2005 marked the 40th anniversary of the classic cartoon, and it gets more relevant every year. When Charlie Brown complains about all the materialism he sees during the Christmas season, Lucy suggests that he become director of the school Christmas pageant. He accepts, but it proves to be a frustrating struggle, and he tries to restore the proper holiday spirit with a forlorn little fir tree. Wonderful for all ages.
