The Charlie Brown Christmas Tree

Remember in the 1965 Charlie Brown Christmas Special where Charlie Brown was sent out for an extra-special Christmas tree for the big pageant Lucy was directing, but he came back with a pathetic little tree that a little elbow grease turned into something fabulous?

Well, retailers are now selling that same little Christmas Tree. The classic tree can now be yours: to display in all its pathetic misery, or to turn into something wonderful yourself.

We love those Charlie Brown specials. Who knew we were so sentimental?

Update 2015: Since 2015 many Charlie Brown Christmas Trees are available. You can find them at many retailers. They are available in different sizes including 12-inch, 14-inch, 18-inch and 24-inch trees. There is a musical version. There are also versions with Snoopy and Charlie Brown figures.

The 24-inch tall non-musical Charlie Brown Christmas tree pictured above can be found on Amazon.com. It comes with a blue Linus blanket and is decorated with a single red bulb ornament.
