A Charlie Brown Christmas

by Vince Guaraldi

If you have ever struggled to "get into" the Christmas spirt, I recommend getting this record on. It's nostalgic, perfectly imperfect and has a slight dose of melancholy - things that can encapsulate this time of year. There's an anti-commercialism tone, the whole mood encourages you to find meaningful connections with things that make you happy - whatever they are, that's the real gift of Christmas.
