GOOD BUT INCOMPLETE COLLECTION

I've always loved reading comic strips around Christmastime since it is MY favorite time of the year. In fact, this is the only time of the year that I read some strips as long as they have a Christmas subject. This 160 page collection gathers many, but certainly not all of the Peanuts Christmas strips done by Schulz from the 50's through the 90's. You'll see the gang decorating, having fun, and going through the general stress of Christmas as themes of commercialism are explored as they were in the classic TV special. Yes, I don't think there are any strips here that have NOT been re-printed in previous collections so if you are a real Peanuts "nut", chances are you've seen these before. But, they've never been presented in a Christmas themed collection before as far as I know so that makes it a nice book to own. Simply delightful

Warm your Heart with the Peanuts Gang

There are certain aspects of Christmas where the commercialism that prevades the holiday makes one fail to truly appreciate its meaning. To regain the true nature of Christmas, one turns to Handel's Messiah, Bach's Christmas Oratorio, Vaughn Williams' Hodie, Dickens' A Christmas Carol and Charles Schultz classic Christmas Peanuts comics... you will receive an emotional and spiritual rejuevenation when you read these truly inspired vignettes every Holiday season...to be enjoyed by the whole family!

A Peanuts Christmas, cartoons selected by somebody

This is definitely not the Hallmark book ... This is a nice collection, but not a great collection. Many strips were dropped from the continuity. At least three strips were printed twice, indicating either the editor was asleep or there was no editor! We can only wait for a collection of full continuity strips, but, until then, this is still a worthwhile purchase for Peanuts fans young and old. If you already have the Hallmark collection, buy this also. If not, forget that edition.

very good, but could have been better

This Peanuts hardcover is definitely recommended. However, it could have been more comprehensive, especially considering previous Peanuts Christmas-themed volumes. A decent preface should have been included-- and many, many more Christmas strips could/should have been included.
