'Christmas just doesn't feel like Christmas without hearing that album in the background.'
By DAVID BAUDER, AP Entertainment Writer NEW YORK — The Mendelson family would love to find the envelope where their father, Lee, scribbled some lyrics to jazz musician Vince Guaraldi's composition"Christmas Time is Here" for an animated TV special featuring the"Peanuts" gang in 1965.
Yet it worked. Guaraldi's cascading piano evokes both motion and lightly falling snow on"Skating." The driving melody of"Linus and Lucy" is the eternal backdrop to a swinging party."O Tannenbaum" shifts from the traditional carol to a bass-driven groove. A children's choir adds charm to"Christmas Time is Here."

Apple TV+ bought the rights, and will stream it exclusively starting next year. While a recognition of television's new direction, will that reduce the chances of new generations of children happening upon the story and music?
During the 1960s, jazz was closer to the mainstream and more likely to be played alongside pop music, he said. It all started in the San Francisco area, home base for Guaraldi, as it was for Mendelson and Schulz. Mendelson's popular documentary on Willie Mays — Schulz's favorite baseball player — convinced the reclusive cartoonist to participate in a"day in the life" film about his work. One of Mendelson's favorite songs was Guaraldi's breezy hit,"Cast Your Fate to the Wind," so the jazzman was recruited for a soundtrack.
