With A Charlie Brown Christmas, Guaraldi reinvigorated the Christmas chestnuts 'O Tannenbaum,' 'Hark, the Herald Angels Sing,' and 'What Child Is This' and created such tender holiday standards as 'Christmas Time Is Here,' all infused with seasonal joy and a sense of childlike wonder. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
