Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. True or False: The correct title of the program is "A Peanuts Christmas."

Answer: False

It is entitled "A Charlie Brown Christmas." I've looked to see why it was not entitled with the "Peanuts" tagline and could not find a reason. The same is true for "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown."

2. At the beginning of the program, what does Charlie Brown say that Christmas emphasizes?

Answer: The fact that nobody likes him

Charlie Brown makes the remark after looking in his mailbox for Christmas cards which, as we all know, he will never receive. Shortly afterwards, he sarcastically thanks Violet for her Christmas card.

3. Who refuses to eat December snowflakes, preferring to wait for the January snow?

Answer: Lucy

Linus responds to Lucy with one of my favorite lines. "I don't know, they look ripe to me."

4. When questioned by Lucy, what does Linus say he will do with his blanket when he grows up?

Answer: Make it into a sport coat

Later on in the show, Linus shows that his blanket also makes a quality shepherd's hat.

5. What position is NOT filled by one of the "Peanuts" gang in the Christmas pageant?

Answer: Santa Claus

Lucy appoints herself as the Christmas Queen, Charlie Brown is asked to be the director, and Pigpen is cast as the innkeeper.

6. During the musical numbers where the pageant cast dances around on stage, which of these cast members is NOT playing an instrument.

Answer: Linus

Schroeder obviously plays the piano, Snoopy stands up front playing the guitar, and Pigpen stands in the back playing the bass. Linus can be seen stage right dancing next to Sally and compared to others that are dancing, his dancing seems pretty normal.

7. When Linus asks Lucy to give him "one good reason" why he should memorize his lines for the play, Lucy gives him more than one reason. How many reasons does she give?

Answer: five

Lucy stares at him and counts her fingers off one by one "one, two, three, four, five!" balling them up into a fist which she then waves in front of Linus. Linus' response: "Those are good reasons."

8. Which physical characteristic is Frieda (the innkeeper's wife) so proud of?

Answer: Naturally curly hair

"Do Innkeeper's wives have naturally curly hair?"

9. Why does Lucy think Beethoven was not that great?

Answer: He never had his picture on a bubblegum card

This quote is not very current now. Anyone who collects cards knows that the day of that delcious gum accompying the card has long since past.

10. Snoopy wins first place in the neighborhood decorating contest. What was his prize?

Answer: A gold ribbon

If you ask me, it must have been a pretty weak neighborhood if a doghouse with about 20 lights, a little bit of tinsel, and a weathervane on it wins first place.
