Advent at Hilltop

In 1965 an animated special feature captured the American consciousness during the Christmas season and no one at the time knew that it would continue, these many decades later, as one our favorite Christmas programs. A Charlie Brown Christmas remains one of the most beloved Christmas stories in our culture. Peanuts founder Charles M. Schulz liked to weave biblical texts and Christian themes into his weekly comic strip, and his Christmas program was no different. A Charlie Brown Christmas is one of the only animated features to include the gospel of Luke text. Over the next several weeks we’ll be looking at some of the lovable Peanuts characters during Advent/Christmas: Dec. 1 Charlie Brown; Dec. 8 Lucy; Dec. 15 Snoopy; Dec. 22 Sally; Dec. 24 Linus. Each week we’ll weave biblical learnings with the fun-loving characters from the comic strip.
