An early Merry Christmas from me and Charlie Brown

Actually, the best gift I could give anyone who happens to stop by here today is to tell you to subscribe to Roger Ebert's newsletter.

I think it's mostly compiled by Ebert's minions, but it's still a great read that comes once or twice a month or so. But what is it? Mostly just a collection of fun clips, everything from trailers to complete movies, and always with some truly odd and fun choices.

In this morning's missive, in fact, was the complete "A Charlie Brown Christmas," and what could possibly be better than that for getting through a dreary and rather cold Wednesday? Enjoy the special below, and if you want to, subscribe to Ebert's newsletter here for a measly $4 a year. Peace out.
