  • This is how many American kids were introduced to jazz back in the sixties through this best ever Christmas special that was ever made. the stuff they have now is really pure garbage for kids to see.

  • The 23 who dislike this video.. I dislike you!

  • Thank you - now it's Christmas!

  • @iceprincessca100

    Merry Christmas!

  • Every Christmas me and my Dad used to listen to all the Charlie Brown Christmas music and watch the movie a lot. We always used to point out when in the song Charlie Brown would yell "Hello in there!!" into the mail box haha. I forget where that is now, haven't seen my dad in a while. Anyway, glad this is here.

  • Songs like this that make me feel like I'm back in happier times, when my parents were together. I miss my childhood.

  • @FailureIsImminent this comment almost made me cry. too true dude. this song reminds me of family too

  • @FailureIsImminent yeah you never realized how great you had it when you were a kid...damn!

  • Beautiful piano playing. Tasty.

  • The "Merry Christmas Charlie Brown" Scared the crap out of me

  • The ratio of likes to dislikes gives me hope for humanity...

  • Never understood how Snoopy just appears out of nowhere when behind that piano.

  • Pure Christmas!  The spirit of mankind shines brightly in this song...

  • Vince Guaraldi died way too young of a heart attack, and I am so glad he left us this gentle jazz legacy. I have a special fondness for O Tannenbaum, as it was the first song I ever sang with my kindergarten class at a Chrismas assembly back when the public schools did such things. (I come from a secular Jewish family and I never felt that singing Christmas carols at school did us any harm; opportunity to understand metaphors and practices of the larger culture around us.)

  • x-mas shopping mall / elevator music ahhhhhh ~  <3

  • i likey

  • It's on now.

  • wonderful and timeless. i remember my mom cooking Christmas dinner and the fun and magical time of being a kid. i have been trying to find this music - where can i get it!!

  • mmm. I love me some jazzy Christmas music

  • @roselynde christmas commercials started airing right the day right after halloween. its never too early to be excited for christmas!

  • The ONLY christmas album. The antipode of that noodle droll Kenny J album.

  • @Fingermanant1234 It beats the hell out of Mannheim Steamroller, too.

  • 4:57 That scared the crap outta me. I was just surfing through the internet while listening to this classic piece, when suddenly....."MERRY CHRISTMAS CHARLIE BROWN!!"

  • I hear it

  • LOVE IT!

  • It's that time of year again!

  • @andrewleong88 It is now..but was it really two weeks ago!?!??!

  • I want Christmas now !!!!!!!! :)

  • someone please find or create a decent tutorial for all pianists who would like to be able to play this magnificent song. it sounds gorgeous and i would be honored to play it to my family on Christmas day

  • @Whinesetisfat Hal Leonard has a Vince Guaraldi "Artist Transcriptions" book that contains this song as Vince played. PianoWithWillie, the best piano instruction web site I have found, has a lesson on playing this song, including inprovising. I'm working on it now. Good luck!

  • I play a yearly spanish guitar arrangement. good luck.

  • It's simply one of the greatest ALBUMS ever. xmas or otherwise.

  • Eight days and I can listen to this song.

  • me too <3

  • 4:55 headphones beware!

  • Love this song :)

  • My favorite Christmas tune : )

  • When I think of Christmas, this music starts playing in my head. It's definitely something that Christmas wouldn't be the same without. Instant happiness.

  • can someone transcribe this....i suck at playing by ear and i really want to do his solos

  • @1337shellc0der there is a full sheet music book with note by note transcriptions...guess who's getting it for christams :)

  • i can see that there are 18 grinches

  • 3 more months!!!!!!!!!

  • Whenever i watch Charlie Brown christmas, I know Im truly happy then.

  • This makes me want to light up a cigar pour a glass of johnny walker and sit and relax......

  • This is as smooth as it gets.......the best version of this song. ever!

  • someone write a decent tutorial please? I don't need all the crazy decoration just the basics!

  • I'd like to be as free as snoopy!!!!

  • beautiful

  • The People Who disliked this probably weren't in the holiday spirit! Let's help them get back into it!

  • Whatever wrongs, whatever weights that hold a man are eased and shuffled a bit further off, calmed, cleaned of bright visions in mind of twinkled lights, the smell of evergreen and vivid images forever sealed in mind of smiles through the ages a bit pure-er in fond memory, tis the season of hope my friends. Even if only a quaint idea in a swealtering July, Cheers and forever "Happy" of the holidays.. Great vid..

  • honestly i couldn't ever be happier than closing my eyes to this song and picturing Christmas even in the middle of july

  • Vince Guaraldi, you were the theme song to every Christmas of my childhood.

  • How can 17 people dislike this? I mean, there are probably some people out there who just don't like that jazzy sound, but then they shouldn't watch this... 17 people don't know how to click the 'like' button...

  • @naanasecretadmire101 you are a soul-less grouch, scrooge! 

  • @naanasecretadmire101 <<< ten year old who uses ke$ha as a role model although she's got a fugly voice *cough*rockin' eve '11*cough*

  • @naanasecretadmire101 na you tupid

  • I don't know why I always thought this was done by Dave Brubeck. Anybody know if Brubeck was affiliated with the Charlie Brown cartoons, or if he did his own version of some of the music, etc?

  • @gjc82071 Dave Brubeck did the soundtrack for "Quiet as the Moon"

  • Such a magical song...

  • DJSkyes: thank you very much for putting together my childhood memories in this mix of Peanuts and the German carol my grandparents used to sing.

  • Really, how can anyone dislike this amazing creation that is the Peanuts gang ?!?!!?!? Be sure to check out my channel (If you're a real Peanuts fan, that is :) ) all I do is Peanuts videos!

  • I heard this (exact arrangement) playing on a Chicago trolley and the people behind me saying this was George Winston. I wanted to slug the blockheads!

  • I think it is interesting how people say they wish Christmas was every day...I think the reason it is so special is because it is only once a year. The cherishing of Jesus Christ, our holy figure born on this day, the true meaning of Christmas; & we shouldn't just act like that happens every day. It's a specially celebratory & amazing day, & only having it for one day is one of the things that makes it special.

  • @minamu8: What people mean by that is that during the holidays, people act uncharacteristically nice and cheerful. What would could do without though, is the commercialism, because that's not what the holidays are about. It's about the birth of our savior and about peace on earth towards all peoples.

  • Shred it vince! you shred that piano!

  • Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!

  • 14 dislikes? 14 people who have no soul and will burn in hell for eternity. HAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Merry Christmas you crazy bastards!

  • I FORCED my wife, who is a from an Asian country, to watch the Peanuts Xmas show. I don't think she was impressed. I am 50 now and it's just not Xmas without Peanuts music. I guess I am warped. Wife thinks I'm nuts and the "cartoon is drawn very basically". Yeah...it's not anime....Merry X-Box Everyone!

  • @xxdrzombiexx she wouldn't get the refined musky-styled humour/appeal i'm assuming. shame for her!

  • Ebenezer Scrooge created 14 accounts and disliked this.

  • @MarauderOSU  Ebenezer never had a life

  • @MarauderOSU woah thats weird cuz i just started to read that story in my LA class

  • @MarauderOSU Now 18 accounts. SMH...

  • @MarauderOSU Oh, that is awesome! Thanks for the belly laugh this morning!

  • @MarauderOSU Lmao... I love the Christmas Carol :P but wait that's insulting to the new Scrooge! GRRRR HEY SCROOGE SHOW THIS MAN THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS! ... -_- No, I don't mean to give him money... No!! I don't mean to give him everything he wants for Christmas!!! ... NO JUST PU--.... Nevermind.... Nevermind. xDDDDDD

  • o tannenbaum o tannenbaum wie grün sind deine bläätter xD

  • Vince Guaraldi Trio was one of the best trios there ever will be.They played so well together.They had such good feel and they swung like an 18 piece band! Amazing!! Love this!

  • how can u dislike charlie brown christmas. i dont get it. vince guarldi nailed it. merry christmas to all the non haters of christmas. its a beautiful time of year. the lights, the music, and the ones that are close to you. god bless

  • where in the heck did these dislikes come from.. wow what genius composition and what a great man that we owe for all these wonderful tunes.. People have a and yes I am going to be politically incorrect MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!

  • Beautiful! ...but the "Merry Christmas Charlie Brown" at the end really pours vinegar on everything right at the last moment.

  • i have to dig out those classic christmas vhs'es

  • 4 days until christmas

  • Windshield wiper keeping rythm Skaters in the park Crowds at the store Eggnog in a cup with a dash of E&J brandy String of lights Pinecones Bells ringing Bourbon pecan pie in the oven Grandmother's Christmas ornaments Stack of firewood Red berries Tracks in the snow Stained glass church windows Ribbon candy Silver icicles hanging on the tree Hot chocolate Merry Christmas. May God bend an ear to listen to your prayers.
  • Jazzy Christmas Goodness, baby!!

  • Guys, please don't make the grinch become real.

    Merry Christmas, and a happy song to everyone!

  • I love this song its so beautiful

  • It's a tradition to listen to this song at Christmas for me! I can't wait. Just 6 more days!! Merry Christmas!

  • I loved Charile Brown Christmas when I was a child and I still do. The most wonderful this is, I became a jazz fan when I grew up and this tune does double duty for me. Beautiful childhood memories and an appreciation for a very talented man... the fabulous Vince Guaraldi!

  • Thirteen dislikes. What madness! They must have pine cones in their ears. LOL

  • @inoyoo or up their butts .........

  • the dislike button should be outlawed....

  • Troglodites!

  • I just picked up the Charlie brown Christmas CD/DVD at starbucks this morning...

    This makes this time of the year for me...

  • 10 Days till Christmas :)

  • The only thing I don't like about this video is the obnoxious "MERRY CHRISTMAS CHARLIE BROWN" at the end, it's kind of like nails on a chalkboard, no offense. :/ Ang guys- that's why this probably has thumbs down.

  • Comment removed

  • @AngieeBabyy81 I agree. It destroys the mood and completely ruins the song's elegant ending.

  • SO refreshing AND heartwarming to hear on a snow filled day...

  • Who can thumb down this? Al Qaeda?

    Is this not some of the most important jazz that exists? Imagine how many discovered jazz through this cartoon. Sizzling cool.

  • @LunarTuner I have a theory that thumbs down just appear randomly like electronic noise. There seems to be no other possible explanation exept for one which is too loathsome to consider.

  • @chh5555 I cannot imagine someone giving this in any way a thumbs down...

  • @chh5555 An interesting theory. Perhaps there exists a secret and elite brotherhood of YouTubers, sworn by blood to press the dislike button on every video for no fathomable reason other than they can.

    ... That's preposterous; how pathetic that would be if it were the case!

  • vince guaraldi music fits the peanuts perfectly...

  • 11 Days till Christmas :)

  • @MrSkate4weed 10 now! I can't wait! :D

  • i dont comprehend how one could dislike this video. vince guaraldi is pure genius. Way to underrated musician. Happy Holidays!

  • @jazzandsurf *too

  • i had my earphones in near the end and i nearly shit my pants

  • @spade124 I KNOW. I wish the creator of this video left that out.

  • Great Editing work man....thank you!! Happy holidays

  • Behold; a great christmas song that we will always remember when we are curled up by the fire, reading Peanuts near Christmas time <3

  • love the music...reminds me of home

  • ..lol...WHO COULD POSSIBLY be musically INEPT enough to vote this down???

  • @Joseph88keyz - probably some pin head who thinks rap music rules and everything outside of it sucks

  • @jgehb Giant quotes outside of "music"

  • 15 days till christmas :) 2:45 bass solo

  • Best holiday ever I LOVE CHRISTMAS. My prayers go out to the less fortunate. :)

  • @lacrooseandshredgnar Thank you.

  • who in the world could dislike this?? WHO!?!?!?!

  • @dirtydubstepb1tch this is Youtube.. no accounting for taste of many on here, including those miserable souls, if they have one. Guaraldi is awesome..

  • Lost my Vince Guaraldi DC. If you ask me what Christmas is about, I'd say it's about this music, lights along the house, Christmas tree, shoppings, Barbie Doll packaging, in that order.

  • Some of you are really ignorant about Guaraldi's place in music history. "Cast Your Fate To The Wind" is his true masterpiece, probably covered more times than "Linus & Lucy" or any of the Christmas pieces put together. It was also a radio hit and won a grammy the year it was released. That was all pre-Charlie Brown. musicians like David Benoit and George Winston have both kept Guarldi in the public eye since his death. The Charlie Brown music is just one piece of the puzzle.

  • I love vince guiraldi and this song. I actually have my own version you guys can check out.

  • I love this song. So much so that I did my own rendition of it. Come listen.

  • 13 people don't have a tannenbaum.... sad

  • 13 people are getting sacks of coal for Christmas.

  • @Bubdylan524  LMAO!

  • if it weren't for "charlie brown," very few people would know about vince guaraldi. thanks to "peanuts," guaraldi is now (somewhat) overrated........

  • @jonbecker03 Oh so wrong. Guaraldi was a great jazz musician long before charlie brown. Some of the "charlie brown" music pieces were written before they became the score of the animated series. Overrated? I don't think so. He is way up on the jazz food chain.

  • @camerond47 i agree: the "charlie brown" pieces are great to listen to (forget the visuals that go with them and you can really appreciate them as jazz compositions). but guaraldi is still only a second or third echelon jazz pianist. a top one hundred figure instead of a top ten talent. what guaraldi did just can't be compared with the work of ellington, basie, monk, jelly roll morton, fats waller, et al.

  • @camerond47 i say that guaraldi is only "somewhat" overrated because he still isn't know by large sections of the hip jazz audience and even by many professional musicians. (everybody digs people like bill evans, but a lot of folks are not into guaraldi.) my former best friend was a pianist. he was aware of the various "peanuts" pieces, yet he had never heard of guaraldi BY NAME. nonetheless, he sometimes played in a similar style himself.

  • You can get the complete set of Charlie brown Christmas songs.

    Just Google - "Charlie Brown Christmas sheet music" and it's the 1st site that pops up.

  • Now I want to go shopping for a solid aluminum Christmas tree.

  • @El135o  LOL!...thats funny...!!!!

  • Classic!

  • You realize as you get older, that Christmas comes and passes quickly, but at least there's stuff like this to make feel just a little bit longer. I love drumming this stuff hahaha

  • THE PEANUTS GANG! <3

  • If anyone has the sheet music for this I would love you to death if you could email it to me.  It'd be a great present to play this to my family Christmas eve.

  • @soccermitt89 you can find some music at a local store, i have a book with all the ORIGINAL music from the movie. just go look for A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS but dont get EASY PIANO, you need to get PIANO SOLO for the original music. :)

  • Genius rivaled with Oscar Peterson. Wish I could have seen them perform.

  • love da vince

  • Very mellow and cool jazz...just how I like it for Christmas! Thanks for posting. I will be listening to this over and over....Happy Christmas Everyone!

  • 20 days people

  • *bows to the immortal Vince Guaraldi Trio*

    My username should say it all. ^_^

  • Comment removed

  • 13 people lost to snoopy in the decorating contest.

  • Screw the sound track by the great Vince Guaraldi's album!

  • @gtrnumber1 How could you possibly watch this and discount Vince Guaraldi?

  • The 13 people are obviously satisfied with their commercialized Christmas music.
