It Was The Best Christmas Yet,Charlie Brown: A Peanuts Musical
Chapter 1: A Special Delivery
Wintertime is commonly known to be one of the most magical and pleasant times of the year for your average everyday family,it almost always consisted of kids playing out in the snow on their days off from school,family members coming together for sometimes the first time in months,and who could of course forget the holiday to top all holidays held on the 25'th of December known as Christmas,as well as other people from other cultures and backgrounds celebrating Hanukkah and Kwanzaa?
It was a cold and breezy winter night in the downtown area of a typical everyday city,the snow was lightly and gently falling at a nice and slow pace,and the city streets were covered with piles and piles of snow and some of them were even frozen by ice. The lamp posts were all turned on at every street corner and they gave the snow and everything that would pass by it a yellow shade and tint. On one of the many streets and walkways,a young,thin woman wearing a black cloak over most of her body aside from her bright blue eyes was slowly walking across the sidewalk,and she seemed to be carrying something in a small cardboard box although it couldn't be seen due to a small baby blanket covering the top of it,not to mention that there was absolutely no one else out at this time who could possibly spot her.
The woman continued to slowly walk at a nice and comfortable pace until she eventually walked past a wooden sign placed by a small mansion like building that read in big red letters "Sparkyville Orphanage For The Abandoned And Needy." and the woman instantly stopped in her tracks when she saw it. She stood there right in front of the sign for almost a minute until she slowly pulled over the top of the baby blanket in the box to reveal a sleeping baby boy with a tiny pair of red pajamas as the woman sighed and nervously told herself "You can do this,you know this is the best thing for him." before she looked back down at the infant and reassured him in a loving voice "You'll be okay here. I promise." Afterwards she recovered the baby with his blanket and slowly started to walk towards the orphanage.
Woman: Let the stars in the sky remind us of man's compassion. Let us all love till we die and god bless us everyone. In your heart there's a night as bright as a star in Heaven. Let it shine through the night and god bless us everyone.
Once the woman had walked up the steps that led to the orphanage's front door,she slowly sat the box down at the doorway,slid off the top of the baby's blankets and somberly remarked "Oh my darling,having to live without me at young,but I know that one day you will find a home better than anything I could provide,and me and God will always be with you. Until then,work hard,be brave,and above all…...do not let your heart grow bitter." before she leaned in downwards and kissed the baby on the head and bid him farewell "Goodbye,I love you Edward." to which she rose up,rung the doorbell and slowly begun to walk away.
Star by star in the sky and kindness by human kindness. Let us love till we die and god bless us everyone. God bless us everyone.
Once the woman started walking down the street and heading back the way she came,she suddenly stopped right in her tracks when she could faintly hear the door behind her open as she turned around to see the shadow of another person picking up the baby on the city pavement.
*10 Years Later.*
It was yet another dark and cold winter night in the woods and the forest floor was covered with nothing but mounds and hills of snow while it continued to fall. However it seemed that the forest was not alone due to the fact that a small figure wearing a very thick,brown winter jacket along with a black hood over its head was making its way through it,the figure was holding a small lantern that shone bright yellow light through the trees. The figure continued to make its way through the forest and trudged through the thick and heavy snow until it suddenly stopped and sat down on a nearby log.
"Oh boy,man I hate winter." The figure stated in a very thick and out of breath southern accent as it took off its hood to reveal that he was actually none other than the hermit known as Ed before he suddenly noticed that the snow had stopped falling and remarked while he looked up at the sky to see that it was slowly brightening up "Looks Like morning is on its way. Finally. I don't need to keep the gang in Sparkyville waiting." Afterwards Ed jumped right off the log,put his hood back on and picked his lantern back up as he continued to make his way through the forest with Sparkyville as his destination. Speaking of which,back in the little town known as Sparkyville,the sun was slowly but surely starting to rise over the hills and trees,and the numerous piles of snow were now bright orange and yellow and were starting to slightly melt.
Under the snow,beneath the frozen streams there is life.
You have to know when nature sleeps she dreams there is life.
And the colder winter,the warmer the spring,the deeper the sorrow,the more our hearts sing,even when you can't see it inside everything,there is life.
Pretty soon more and more of the local animals were starting to wake up including numerous birds and pets,and even some ducks had flown their way onto the frozen that many of the kids used,only for a duckling to fly down,accidentally slip and slide right into the older birds. Not to mention that plenty of kids had suddenly burst right through their front doors with all their snow geer on and were now playing in the snow.
After the rain,the sun will reappear there is life (there is life.)
After the pain,the joy will still be here there is life.
For it's out of the darkness that we learn to see,and out of the silence that songs comes to be,and all that we dream of awaits patiently,there is life!
(There is!) There is life! Oooooo.
