Why Linus Drops His Blanket in A Charlie Brown Christmas

Why Linus Drops His Blanket

A Charlie Brown Christmas is a favorite holiday special. Unlike many of the other TV specials this time of year, A Charlie Brown Christmas emphasizes the religious nature of the Christmas holiday. But did you ever notice that Linus drops his blanket during the show? The article below explains how this moment in the show can have a special meaning for Christians. Here’s a teaser from the article:

In that climactic scene when Linus shares “what Christmas is all about,” he drops his security blanket, and I am now convinced that this is intentional. Most telling is the specific moment he drops it: when he utters the words, “fear not”.

This would be a wonderful reflection and discussion point for a youth group meeting. Or bring it up with your family while they are watching the show.
