A Christmas Classic that Almost Wasn't

Love Letters from the Abeggs:   "…to those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ: may mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you." (Jude 1:1) The Christmas Classic  That Almost Wasn't "When Schultz, a Sunday school teacher, said Linus should recite from the gospel of Luke, Mendelson and Melendez protested. "We looked at each other and said, 'well there goes the careers right down the drain…''" "A Charlie Brown Christmas" is part of the Abegg Family holiday tradition, along with other classics such as "It's a Wonderful Life," "White Christmas," and "Meet John Doe," as well as those in a different category such as "Elf" and "Die Hard 1 & 2." If you have a moment, though, I highly recommend you read the article "How A Charlie Brown Christmas Almost Wasn't." This classic Christmas tradition has withstood the test of 60 turbulent years since its airing on December 9, 1965, and includes a word-for-word proclamation of Christ's birth from the Gospel of Luke, chapter 2 thanks to the tenacity of Peanut's creator Charles Shultz.  Enjoy the read, and I pray you're encouraged this Christmas to give thanks to God in all things, but in particular for the biggest gift you could ever receive… God Himself in the form of Christ.  There are many ways to access "It's Christmas Charlie Brown", but if you don't mind watching it in sections, it's available on YouTube at the link above.  Join our Team Prayer Team: Reply to this Email to let us know you're praying for us,  and let us know how we can be praying for you.  Financial Support Team: To join or learn more, visit: Abegg Missionary Support Page Donate via US Mail:  Send a check with an accompanying note stating:  "For the Abegg Family"  to 205 Regency Executive Park Dr. Suite 430, Charlotte, NC 28217 Give Via Phone:  Dial (704) 357-3355 and talk to a very helpful person.
