YULE CLASSIC

I know that Randy Lewis’ list of Christmas music (Holiday Gift Guide, Nov. 26) focused on new releases, but might I add “A Charlie Brown Christmas” by Vince Guaraldi? The pianist’s interpretation conjures up images of skating, catching snowflakes on your tongue and decorating Christmas trees. Whenever I need a holiday pick-me-up, I just listen to Guaraldi’s rendition of “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing” and remember Linus’ speech about what Christmas is all about.

Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown, and to all my fellow Angelenos. JACQUI TROTT
