How ironic (and prophetic) considering that this is from 1972. This could have been written today: there’s no mention of Thanksgiving Day and all the emphasis is on “getting” rather than giving. Sally’s twisted concept of “Christmas” fits right in with today’s self-entitlement and materialistic attitudes that seem to be getting more prevalent.
Sally is just expressing every smaller kids idea of Christmas. And very well done, too. Even written in cursive, which most baby boomers didn’t learn to write until 4th or fifth grade.

trust your older brother on this one, Sally, for he knows way more than you

Mind-blowing, isn’t it, Sally ?

No change from yesterday. Just different words.

1972, eh? For some reason, I imagined that brainless expressions like “Like, wow!” came years later, in the 1980s or so. Did Sally start it?

Yeah, Sally’s a Millennial. (“OK Boomer” in 3…2…1…)

Sally has not matured since the Christmas special

was Sally channeling Gordo Gekko from “Wall Street”?

Sally needs to talk to her ‘sweet baboo’ about Christmas. Didn’t Linus play a shepherd in the Charlie Brown Christmas play?

You would almost think he’d never met her before…

Hmm must be an emphasis on giving if the artist had to mention it twice in a row

That’s why you’re the Good Ol’ Charlie Brown.

I’m with Sally on this one. The true spirit of Christmas is one of selfishness and greed.

Well, someone has to be on the receiving end of all that giving…

What we have is, failure to communicate. Some men, you can’t reach

To give is fine, but to get devine.

Maybe this is why Charlie did not try to help his sister more often.

Sally words fit too many today.

Did we use expressions such as “like, wow!” back in 1972? It doesn’t sound right…

Hopefully, she gets it before she grows up and becomes a full-blown diva. Or, maybe it was a grownup version of her that sang: “Santa Baby”
