Transcript:

Violet, Shermy and Shroeder stand on a set of bleachers. Pig-Pen, Charlie Brown, Patty, Lucy and Linus stand in front. Violet and Shroeder sing: "'We are here to tell you of a wondrous light.'" Linus thinks: "I'm sunk!"<br> <br> "'A wondrous light that was a star,'" Shermy sings. Linus thinks, "I wonder if there's any way I could get out of here..." he glances off to the side.<br> <br> "'The wise men saw the star, and followed it from afar..'" Lucy sings. "Psst...Lucy.." Linus speaks from the corner of his mouth.<br> <br> "'They found the stable in the night beneath the star so big and bright,'" Charlie Brown sings. "What's the matter?" Lucy asks out of the corner of her mouth. "I can't remember my piece!" Linus says.<br> <br> "'The wise-men left the presents there..gifts so precious and so rare.." Patty sings. Lucy hisses, "Waddya mean, you can't remember it?" "I can't remember it!".<br> <br> Pig-Pen opens his arms and sings, "'Look up, look up, the star still stands, seen by millions in many lands.." Lucy threatens Linus: "You better remember it right now you blockhead, or when we get home, I'll slug you a good one!"<br> <br>"THE STAR THAT SHONE AT BETHLEHEM STILL SHINES FOR US TODAY!" Linus sings very loudly.<br> <br> "Merry Christmas," Lucy adds, out of the corner of her mouth. Linus lies flat on the floor, "Thank you.." he murmurs.<br> <br>
