It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Dark-brown is composed of several Christmas-themed storylines, some of which are taken directly from the Peanuts comic strip, and some of which are combined with like storylines. All the storylines are self-contained, and there is no overarching plot in this Christmas special.

• Linus van Pelt attempts to ride down a snowy hill in a box, just to crash repeatedly.

• Charlie Chocolate-brown tries to sell wreaths door-to-door, with little success. Sally Brown offers her help but doesn't have whatsoever more success than her brother. Finally, she comes up with a amend way to show off the wreaths by having Snoopy pose with them on his olfactory organ.

• Linus passes a snowman that appears to be playing the flute. It turns out that Woodstock is under the hat, providing the music that's existence heard.

• Peppermint Patty worries most her Christmas book report. First, she calls Charlie Dark-brown, asking for suggestions on how to go out of it. Then she watches A Tale of Ii Cities on TV so she won't have to read the volume, but she was confused by the parts about the shampoo, the lather, and the coffee, which were commercials. She then tries to make an excuse for non reading the book by claiming her grandfather said "if you lot read as well many books, your head would fall off." So Marcie offers to aid by property onto Peppermint Patty'south head. Then Peppermint Patty goes outside to build a snowman, challenge that she must give him life. Lastly, she calls Marcie to enquire her what book they were supposed to read during Thanksgiving Vacation, only for Marcie to remind her that it's Christmas Vacation and that Easter is coming.

• Peppermint Patty and Marcie attend a functioning of George Frideric Handel'south Messiah. Marcie'southward try to stand during the Hallelujah Chorus result in her getting stuck in her chair. The next day, Peppermint Patty is writing a report about the experience, but since neither she nor Marcie knows Handel's first proper noun, she says information technology was written by "Joe Handel."

• Snoopy is playing the role of a corner Santa, except instead of ringing a bell, he uses a horn.

• Linus passes another musical snowman, and this time finds Woodstock and his bird friends as a string quartet underneath the hat.

• Sally Brownish is writing an English Theme almost "The Truthful Meaning of Christmas," but believes the true meaning is "getting all you tin get while the getting is good" and ignores Charlie Brown'southward insistence that Christmas is the joy of giving. She is and so writing her Christmas List but has to ask Charlie Brown how to spell his proper noun, much to his chagrin ("I'one thousand your brother, and you don't even know how to spell my proper noun?!"). She ultimately puts his name downwards every bit "Sam," since she knows how to spell that. Finally, while writing a alphabetic character to Santa Claus, she's inspired to write instead to his wife, "Mary Christmas," and congratulates her on deciding to keep her own name.

• Emerge Chocolate-brown discovers all the candy canes are missing from the Christmas tree. Charlie Brown suggests she looks outside because it turns out Snoopy and his bird friends had taken the canes in order to perform a trip the light fantastic number.

• Linus tries to explicate the true meaning of Christmas to Sally Brownish, quoting the same passage that he used inA Charlie Brown Christmas. Notwithstanding, Sally pays no attention to him, instead of worrying more nigh her Christmas shopping, frustrating Linus. He then attempts to explain what a "calling bird" is referring to in the Twelve Days of Christmas, referring to David's usage of the term in the Bible. Withal, Emerge just complains that she'll simply get crazier if she gets socks once more for Christmas, frustrating Linus farther. He and so shares about how Albert Schweitzer dreaded the thought of getting Christmas gifts considering he hated having to write thank-you notes. Once more, however, Sally misses the bespeak, considering she has no idea who Albert Schweitzer is.

• Charlie Brown wants to buy Peggy Jean a squeamish pair of gloves, simply they cost $25. After agonizing over whether or not to buy them for her, he attempts to sell an autographed Joe Garagiola baseball, just to find no takers. He so sells his entire comic book collection to get the money. However, Peggy Jean had already been bought a new pair of gloves past her mother, so Charlie Dark-brown didn't give her the gloves ("Why give her something she already has?"). He does manage to salvage the state of affairs by giving the gloves to Snoopy, so they didn't go to waste.

• The children participate in a Christmas play, where Marcie plays The Virgin Mary, Franklin gets the part of Gabriel, Peppermint Patty reluctantly plays a sheep (though she forgets her line, and advertizement-libs other creature sounds, much to the laughter of the audience), and Sally plays an affections, who has to say the line "Hark!", but inadvertently says "Hockey stick!" Afterward, a male child named Harold Angel drops by Charlie Brown'south house, looking for Emerge.

• When Lucy tries to force Linus out of a beanbag chair, he reminds her that on Christmas Twenty-four hour period, she said "Why do we have to exist nice to each other only on Christmas? Why tin't we be nice to each other every day?" Lucy gets aroused and storms off, leaving Linus free to settle back into the beanbag after proverb "Joy to the Globe."
