While not actually a Christmas carol, the music to Charles Schultz' 1965 television special is iconic to anyone who grew up in that era or any subsequent generation. Vince Guaraldi's score is perfect, and any cut from it - even the "non-Christmasy" music - instantly conjures up Christmas for me.
Capturing the Christmas Spirit can be tricky. Charlie & Co. are masterful at portraying this without being sticky or maudlin. The message of the show, of course, cannot be missed. We are celebrating much more than tinsel and lights in this season!
Here's "Christmas Time is Here" from the opening credits.
Today's the seventh day of Christmas!

Me too - I really need to get that one on DVD. It's short and sweet, but somehow just sums up Christmas so neatly!
