In anticipation/dread of the holiday season, the last Examining video of 2019 focuses on a Christmas special made on a shoestring budget, its accompanying jazz soundtrack that was recorded in under two days, and how both became iconic for tapping into feelings that few pieces of Christmas media have. That’s right, it’s A Charlie Brown Christmas, and Vince Guaraldi’s soundtrack!

Let me know what you think of the special/soundtrack in the comments below!
