Could not find a thread for this (though I believe there was one). One of my favorite pieces of music, period- and now there's a flash mob.

I love it and the entire Christmas album. However, if I remember right, Linus and Lucy is also played on a non-Christmas Charlie Brown special, right?

I believe so- it originated on a Guaraldi jazz album and then was used for the Christmas show, and then other Peanuts specials thereafter.

Seems like I heard this one on the radio more often this year than ever before. I guess it researched really well?

I look forward to hearing this over the holidays, but it's a theme that's really great year-round, as it has no lyrics. :)

I love this song and album. It's an essential around the holidays!

I believe so- it originated on a Guaraldi jazz album and then was used for the Christmas show, and then other Peanuts specials thereafter. It's basically the signature Peanuts theme song, overall. Not really a holiday composition, but since there were so many Charlie Brown specials about holidays, most notably "A Charlie Brown Christmas", it gets included on albums and played in conjunction with that. But it sounds good anytime (and I'm not just saying that because I've been a Peanuts fan since about the age of two.)

Indeed. :) It's the most recognizable among the Peanuts music, and used in a number of the specials.

Finally cracked the Hot 100 this year, at No. 37. :)
In addition, "Christmas Time Is Here" also debuted, coming in at No. 48.
