That's What Christmas Is About, Charlie Brown / The PEANUTS (R) Gang / Linus walked to center stage, dragging his blanket. "Lights, please?" he said. The audi- / itorium lights dimmed, and the spotlight formed a small circle around him. He began: / "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over / their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the / Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, / Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. / For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. / And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, / lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly / host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will / toward men." / Linus picked up his blanket and exited stage left, approaching Charlie Brown. / "That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown." / Wind the key on the base to hear "Away in the Manger." / For decorative use only. Not for children under 8. / Concu a des fins decoratives seulement. / Ne convient pas aux enfants de moins de 8 ans. / HANDCRAFTED - DATED 2006
