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:
