Royal Guardsmen-Snoopy's Christmas

[shockingzombie242]

i love it. anything with snoopy and/or red baron is awsome.

[scottpilgremvsdepie]

I love this song I heard it on da radio this Christmas season and wondered wat it was cuz it was so epic sounding so I looked up snoopy Christmas song and sure enough it came up

[MrKipW]

Snoopy vs the Red Baron (I bought that new), Return of the Red Baron, Snoopy's Christmas, and then Snoopy for President (where "everybody" is on his side, but he'll lose by one vote unless the Red Baron saves the day by voting for him). After that, I think Schulz may have quietly asked the group to cool it on Snoopy. Were there others besides these four? Thanks for the memories, soccerjettgirl11!

[mrplow33]

ALL PRAISE TO JESUS

[LinkinParkSODAMNROX]

We need DORA to find the dislike bar!

[DrahcirAloer]

This song reminds me of the Christmas Armistice. Look it up, it is quite the heartwarming story.

[BoojumFed]

@DrahcirAloer

I hope so. It's about the Christmas Armistace. ;^)

[tivaevae]

Merry Christmas!

[sahrbd1]

I love this song....now I feel like it is really Christmas after I have heard it!!

[brentrjones]

It brings back memories to listen to this. At the time the United States was increasingly involved in Vietnam. The Cold War chilled us with the threat of Mutually Assured Destruction. I was a young man in high school soon to be picked #3 in the first draft lottery. War never brings final Peace. That come through faith in a Much Higher Power.

[misstigerlady1976]

Snoopy Rules the Red Baron is stupid

[timmyg2]

I Love this song. My husband plays an online virtual Warplane game and i picked on him and asked if he has seen Snoopy flying on his doghouse going by. lol. Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

[Debutantealways]

How in the world can anyone dislike this song? Scrooges, all 7 of ya!!

[becker22surfer]

This song is such a classic !! I remember this from when I was young and everytime I hear it,it reminds me of happy times and Christmas with my brothers and sisters when we were all together.

[lauriereeterbrown]

Love it! Merry Christmas!

[shaneh1983]

[Cml725]

Tears well in my eyes (but the good kind). Merry Christmas, my friends!

[choppers99]

My favorite Christmas song of all time.

[GallifreyFilms]

6 people would have shot Snoopy

[womanwonder10]

@18martyk So true!!

[womanwonder10]

[cherkats]

[18martyk]

Charles Schultz was a genius! His Peanuts characters will live forever.

[Mallory371]

This song brings me back to a much simpler time. Thank you!

[tbb033]

whoever downvoted this is a grinch

[JaxGeminiSouthPaw]

One of my favorite Christmas songs... along with Silver Bells by Twisted Sister, Christmas in Dixie by Alabama, Baby It's Cold Outside by Rod Stewart and Dolly Parton

[Fennec2828]

@IRONHORSE11M It wasn't Captain Roy Brown either.The autopsy of Manfred von Richtofen's body showed the bullets came from below the aircraft thus verifying an Australian machine gun crews' claim.

[IRONHORSE11M]

we were learning about the Red Barron in History class last week. My teacher asked who shot down the Red Barron? i really wanted to say " Snoopy tried'

[TheRobertoEmerson]

Snoopy was captured the next day. He was taken into court on April 17, 1968. He was found guilty of second degree murder. He was executed on May 4, 1968

[TTTrixie]

Great video images - you have quite a collection!

[swordfishmatador]

[chauffeurme]

Ditto ~ fond baby boomer memories!!

[gymnastmiley95]

they sound like the beatles...omg.

[jdmitchell2]

Some people don't know a modern classic.

[mastershinto69]

Every Christmas season when I hear this song it takes me back to my childhood with my record player and the 45's that I had played over and over. It washes me with warmth and happiness. Thank you for posting and creating your presentation. :)

[MilitaryGirl13]

I love this song. I sing it to my dog. She's part beagle.

[crystalXdecember]

My little brother absolutely loves this song! He's a huge snoopy fan!

[megamuffin15]

World War I - Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

German and Allied soldiers cease fire, exchange gifts, play games and celebrate

[Naushop1]

@megamuffin15 That was in 1914. For the rest of the war, they were not allowed to fraternize with the enemy.

[bigfatjoe1992]

Merry Christmas everyone.

[chicharitogerrard]

5 people are on the naughty list.

[VideosJacked]

@chicharitogerrard Correction 7

[mesupermommy]

Always reminds me of my dad! Makes me cry even though it's a happy song!! 

[Carolarny1]

I LOVE THIS SONG IT'S MY FAVOURITE CAROL !!! I remember watching them perform this song at the Auckland Carol's in the Park performance with my twin sister numerous years when we were little. :D

[brndncffrn]

How could 4 people dislike this???

[heartland121]

Just heard this song in History. its so addicting

[BleachLovah]

Every Christmas this and the Canon in D by TSO are the two songs my dad loves the most

[silentsniperrr]

Best christmas song ever. Tells a tale of the struggle of a brotherhood fighting in the cold, bloody war, and Snoopy swinging above to knock out the enemy. Little did Snoopy know, there were no enemies. It was a peaceful night.

[luannejhunt]

Hello RG Fans! Thought you might want to know the band has a new tell-all documentary coming out next Saturday, October 8. It's called "Burned By A Beagle - The True Story Of The Royal Guardsmen." They also have a brand new song, "Alive and Well" and there's a video of it here on Youtube. Just do a search for "The Royal Guardsmen 9-11 Recovery Song."

[Smartboy8877]

@luannejhunt

Thank you for all of that interesting information!

[soildier2010]

awesome dudes

[indie1361]

Peace on Earth! Fighting is sometimes neccesary to gain peace, but WWI was pointless. Good to remember the Truce of 1914, when the guns fell silent...

[Smartboy8877]

@indie1361

But we must remember that unsolved problems in WWI brought on WWII which was a far worse conflict! The people who fought in this war were nowhere near as gentlemenly as Snoopy or the Red Baron!

[fingustis]

Remember this when I was a child in the early 90's. Good times.

[MeredithOD]

it's July and this is making me very happy :o)

[winddreamer13]

i had the record when i was a little girl and i remember listening to it with my mom. hearing this at christmas makes me miss her a little less.

[tokinPRIDHAM]

it just isn't Christmas without Snoopy's Christmas!

[Rzlodn]

this is the BEST Christmas song EVER!!!

[Maximus8097]

luv it

[tokinPRIDHAM]

Its just not Christmas without this song

[GEL0128]

Why is facebook not on the share list any more?

[kittyprydekissme]

@GEL0128 It's some sort of gliltch. If you favourite the video, you can then play it on your page, and share it to Facebook from there. It's kind of a hassle, but it works.

[kristeindejong]

@GEL0128 you have to link your youtube account to your facebook account...then you can

[Horsesandmusic13]

this is one of those songs that just makes you smile :)

[KiwianaKid]

is his new zealand. and thumps up if you like this song!

[ScapoloNZ]

The greatest non-religious Christmas song ever recorded!

The Royal Guardsmen are so under rated.

[CiNZBAYBEE]

This is my favourite Christmas song. I feel that it is not Christmas until I hear this song!!

[KRISSYK767]

I'm just woundering if this song is a parody of another if so what the real song

[BLOODotFALLEN]

@KRISSYK767 sorta they came out with a song before this called snoopy vs. The red baron, but it wasnt a christmas song. this is a christmas version called Snoopy's Christmas

[ScapoloNZ]

@KRISSYK767

Not a parody of any song, they had a niche market and filled it with wonderful tunes.

The opening harmony is 'O Tannenbaum' a popular German Christmas Song.

[airplanenut89]

The two dislikes were from WWI commanders.

[Geoff109]

did u get all the picture form google? because i want the 2 pictures before the last 2

[mjcamck71]

@berrygirl1964 - Hello. How uplifting to find your unselfish Christmas wish. I feel the same. I've even told my husband and teen children not to "buy" me anything, but only join with me in working for Peace; a task which takes many forms. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU BERRYGIRL1964 - Your presence on this war weary planet is a BLESSING. Peace On Earth to ALL!

[GonzoGuyy]

There is a longer version of this song, that fill in more of the story, as I recall.

[wrff1045]

@GonzoGuyy I heard the other version today on the radio, there is cadence counting in german in the original version and its longer and much better but I cant find it on youtube...

[killingjoy100]

@ Mjcamck71

Ur story is some what correct.On December 25,1913 i beleve german and british soliders left their trenchs and met on the battlefeild against orders.During the meeting they basicly had a christmas party and peace remained dominant untill the comanding officers had shown up (both sides) and ordered their men back to their trenchs and the peace lasted for 3 strait days ( December 24,25,and 26)

[Captain3054]

@killingjoy100

The war that should end all war started in 1914 so the could not have left their trenches in dec 1913.

But tjis song is great. PEACE

[mjcamck71]

@killingjoy100 - Your story is basically correct, also. Apparently, there was more than one spontaneous peace incident along the Western Front. I also recall reading about one that occurred during daylight hours on the 25th. My particular one began at midnight on Christmas Eve with German singing. The German command had ordered candle lit trees to lift morale in the trenches, and when "the other side" joined the song, a tree bearing German soldier ventured out and it went from there. Peace.

[fingustis]

This is awesome. Remember this from my childhood from mid to late 90's. Thanks for the upload :-)

[jmgrayii]

I remember this song from the Christmas of 1967 and forward. It brings Back Great Memories with the whole family, both sides, in one place. Great Job!!

[tracey19711999]

love it serious wi a message....

[NateSean]

I had this tape when I was ten. I never got tired of listening to the "radio" reporter in between the songs.

[Mariorox10]

My favorate christmas song. It combines christ joy and rock

[Bdillio97]

I love this song, it is one of my all time favorite Christmas songs!!!

[Edcognito]

heheh... I was 8, my brother was 5... We used to "sing" this on Christmas morning for my mom, dad, aunt and uncle...

They never complained...

Bless' em...

I know what i'm getting my (80 yr. old) Dad for christmas this year... Guess my brother and I have one more song left in us.

[m1j3]

@Edcognito There was somthing about that comment, that gave me the chills

Merry Christmas man

[Yankee01754]

LOVE this song. Such a great holiday message and it brings back memories of watching, and reading, Peanuts!

And there's the historical moment of All Quiet on the Western Front during WWI.

Thanks ever so much for having it up!

[dancergirl]

What an awesome song. I heard it on the radio recently and had to look it up. Thanks for posting it!

[talahitime]

This song always takes me back to my childhood. I can still hear my brother singing this at the top of his lungs! Great memories. Merry Christmas to all. May there someday be peace.

[AdamsApple1963]

I used to have this 45 when I was a kid!

[luannejhunt]

Hi All!

The Royal Guardsmen are set to release their first ever LIVE CD in December, "Beaglemania!" There's a sneak peek on their website of "Biplane Evermore," one of the songs they recorded for the album. "Snoopy's Christmas" will be on the project too. Check it out!

[Stracci21]

my favorite christmas song, hands down..thanks for uploading this

[butsy1818]

INDEED!!!!!! LONG LIVE SNOOPY AND WE WILL ALL HANG ON FOR THE BETTER WORLD OF FREEDOM IN THE SKIES AND AIRPORTS, AND LANDS OF ALL PEOPLE,WHAT EVER TIME OR CELEBRATION;-)

[BrenMcCloud]

I LOVE this song!! It makes me sad when they stop playing Christmas music on the radio at like noon on the 25th. Songs like this are the best part of the season.

Oh just so everyone knows, I'm 19 (almost 20), and I still truly, honestly, deep down in my heart believe in Santa. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

[eckerdphoto]

@BrenMcCloud I'm 44 and know there is at least the spirit of Santa out there. I try to keep Christmas all the year, just sometimes A lot of people make it hard.

[mjcamck71]

@BrenMcCloud - you are sooo right. It never made sense to me that Christmas songs stop at Noon (?!) on Christmas - what about the Rest of Christmas Day? We play soothing, uplifting Christmas music ALL day. I have a 19 year old & she appreciates songs like this as well. BEST WISHES AND PEACE TO YOU ALWAYS.

[TheWiseTyronian]

mjcamck71, Something similar happened at Christmas in the middle of the American Civil War. Troops from the Union and the Confederacy both put aside the war just to have a jolly and happy Christmas. I pray every night for eternal worldwide peace.

[mjcamck71]

@TheWiseTyronian - Thank you for pointing this out. Every instance of human beings who are supposed to be killing each other refusing to do so even if only for one day is heartening. I'll research this uplifting incident a bit. PEACE AND BEST WISHES TO YOU ALWAYS!

[unguardedmoment]

I'm so stoked at finding this - thanks!! We used to always listen to it on Christmas Day - an integral part of the day's festivities. Had it as a single on vinyl back then- so haven't listened to it since we got rid of the old turntable (yikes). It's going to make a big return this year :)

[WotanSpears]

Great song and very nice video soccergirl. Thanks.

[dabluz1125]

I remember coming home as a kid from my Aunts house on Christmas Eve around 1973ish...This song came on the old 3 inch speaker on our AM only car radio and the whole family just started singing the song out loud...Thanks for the memory.

[esfixe8]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.  I haven't heard this song in probably 20 years. It Was one of the first albums I bought when I was a kid.

[turbovoice]

Thanks for posting this song! You're the only one who didn't chop off the beginning! This was a favorite of mine when I was just a pre-pubic!

[JohnnySaints]

Cool

[YINGAI1995]

SNOOPY THING

S COST OLA TOF MONEY .i THINK SNOOPY WAS FAMOS

[mjcamck71]

Indeed, the song is based on an event on Christmas Eve, 1914 ( WWI) when German troops, "armed" only with Christmas trees ventured out of their fox holes offering to share a Christmas celebration with the "enemy." Soldiers on both sides slowly appeared on the field, shook hands, shared drinks, even played soccer. So often, only the "leaders" want to fight. Individuals do not. It was a bright moment of Real Peace this weary world could use more of. Let's All Keep Praying For PEACE ON EARTH!

[nate61]

@mjcamck71 thank you for telling the story as it's was a different time then the likes of which we most likely never see in our lifetime :(

[Trolltergeist]

@mjcamck71 Ah, mmyes... indeed.

[mjcamck71]

@Trolltergeist - Thank you for the reply. WISHING YOU BLESSINGS AND, OF COURSE, PEACE ALWAYS!

[rickheft]

@mjcamck71

are you sure of the fact's?

[mjcamck71]

@rickheft - Hello. The Christmas Truce of 1914 was, as you know, not a formal agreement between leaders. It was a spontaneous event. Apparently, there were several instances along the Western Front. According to the History Channel, one started when a German soldier carried his small lit (candles) tree across the field. In one account, when he was not stopped, others followed. Have you some additional information? I'd be interested. I love this story. Peace and Merry Christmas.

[highasakiteindasky]

@mjcamck71 thats nice to know. humanity isnt that bad after all

[mjcamck71]

@highasakiteindasky - Yes. We had an expression in the 60's that went "what if they gave a war, and nobody came?" That sort of happened here. Peace and Merry Christmas.

[Wapow27]

@mjcamck71 And then when the leaders found out the soldiers were executed!

[mjcamck71]

@Wapow27 - Hello. Yes, but not everyone everywhere. The especially amazing aspect of The Christmas Truce of 1914 is that these spontaneous laying down of arms & fraternizing appeared in various places along the battle lines. Some officers took part, others didn't.  In some . . . some places after being ordered to start shooting again, some soldiers did but deliberately fired too high to hit anyone. Let us celebrate the HOPE this event illustrates for PEACE ON EARTH.

Merry Christmas!

[67nairb]

@mjcamck71 That's a lovely thought but don't bet on it. There will never be Peace on Earth. Since the horrible tragedy of September 11, 2001, the state of the world is becoming worse and worse and a nuclear apocalypse by rogue states like North Korea are becoming more likely. Believing in Peace on Earth is futile, all we can do is hope and pray for peace.

[mjcamck71]

@67nairb - Hello. Gently, I shall disagree that there will "never" be Peace. There's always hope. The underlying causes of war are basically the same; people suffering (physically, spiritually, emotionally) & attributing their pain, rightly or wrongly, to another group of people whose destruction or subjugation they believe will relieve that pain. I've donated time for 30 years to ending hunger & injustice. That's how we end war. Just my 2 cents. PEACE & MERRY CHRISTMAS.

[67nairb]

@mjcamck71 PEACE & MERRY CHRISTMAS to you too. But isn't it strange that that there is such a great interest and fascination on the history of war and countless books written about that subject? If for one am very fascinated in war, especially in World Wars I and II.

[mjcamck71]

@67nairb - Hello. To each their own. Best wishes for a wonderful Christmas & PEACE to ALL.

[bathbeads10]

@mjcamck71 awwwww if only hitler did this, Well if he did we'd be very different

[Thorchinchilla]

@mjcamck71 The film "Joyeux Noel" retells the story - it made me not want to watch another war movie again...

[adamarbabi2]

@mjcamck71 man you are so right why cant we get along why cant we love each other just l;ike christmas all year round but any way ,erry christ mas yall

[mjcamck71]

@adamarbabi2 - yes, indeed, why can't we all? At least some of us treat each other with respect. Thank you for the reply. Merry Christmas & Peace On Earth!

[sweetsueohio2]

@mjcamck71

Amen to that!

[mjcamck71]

@sweetsueohio2 - Hello. Thank you for the supportive statement. Peace and Best Wishes To You. PS - Isn't there a famous song called "Sweet Sue?"
