Dialogue

 * Peppermint Patty: Marcie, what book were we supposed to read during Thanksgiving vacation?
 * Marcie: This is Christmas vacation, sir.
 * Peppermint Patty: Christmas vacation?!? How can I read something during Christmas vacation when I didn't read what I was supposed to read during Thanksgiving vacation?!?
 * Marcie: Duck, sir. Easter is coming.


 * Lucy: Okay, get up! I wanna lie in that beanbag!
 * Linus: Remember when we were all sitting around the Christmas tree, opening our presents? That's when you said it.
 * Lucy: That's when I said what?
 * Linus: It was beautiful. You said, "Why do we have to be nice to each other only on Christmas? Why can't we be nice to each other every day?"
 * Lucy: (stalks away) You drive me crazy!
 * Linus: Joy to the world!


 * Sally: Tell me about Christmas, Linus. How did all this Christmas stuff start anyway? Except for the part about getting lots of presents - I don't see what all the fuss is about.
 * Linus: Well, this is from the second chapter of Luke...
 * Sally: You know what I hate? I hate shopping!
 * Linus: (reading) "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch..."
 * Sally: I haven't gotten anything for my brother for Christmas yet.
 * Linus: "...and lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them..."
 * Sally: Everything costs so much!
 * Linus: "...and the glory of the Lord..."
 * Sally: I don't want to spend a lot.
 * Linus: "...shone round about them, and they were sore afraid."
 * Sally: Actually, I don't really want to spend any money at all.
 * Linus: "And the angel said unto them..."
 * Sally: I wonder if I could get him something for free.
 * (Linus gives up and falls back onto the couch in frustration.)
 * Sally: Is that it? I always thought the Christmas story was longer than that.
