Tis the season for the cheer and charm of the Peanuts kids – and this delight special offers five segments full of unforgettable moments. Snoopy works as a bell-ringer to raise money and tries making peace with the ferocious cat next door. Linus strives to strike the right tone in his letter to Santa – and his friendship with an indecisive girl at school. Sally’s idea about gift giving and the identity of Santa may be unusual – but her strange notion about how to obtain a Christmas tree surprisingly does the job. Lucy tries awfully hard to be nice…and still coax everyone around her to buy her presents. Charlie Brown and Sally wait up for Santa (a surprisingly short man), who spreads Christmas gift cheer further than they had thought. Make merry!

I ran across this DVD at my local CVS Pharmacy for $13. The Christmas Tales are a selection of short scenes, similar in format to the special “It’s Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown”. If you liked that one, then you’ll probably like this one as well. I found them both enjoyable. The Christmas Tales were originally released in 2002, but I missed them somehow. I’m glad I found them on this 2009 DVD, released for the 60th anniversary of Peanuts.
The second feature, “Is This Goodbye, Charlie Brown?”, is a story about Linus and Lucy moving away when their father takes a new job out of town. It’s a little melancholy at times, with the Peanuts gang saying goodbye and adjusting the idea of friends moving away, but it’s not an emotional roller coaster like the “Snoopy, Come Home” story. Of course, it has the usual satisfying ending when the move turns out to be temporary.
As far as I know, neither of these specials are available on any other current DVDs, so I’m glad that I picked this one up when I found it. If they keep releasing more “collection DVDs” (like the 60′s collection and the 70′s collection volume 1 that were released in 2009), then I suppose that these specials will eventually appear on an upcoming release. In the meantime, though, this is a good way to get them without duplicating something you already have.
