🔎🥜 I solved the mystery of an extra (violent!) scene that shows up in the original 1965 promo for "A Charlie Brown Christmas," but was never in the actual special.

@rubenbolling I'd forgotten how much of the original Peanuts material was simply kids being mean to Charlie Brown. Note that nothing else occurs in that promo; not even one actual joke. Consider the punch line of the very first Peanuts strip: "How I hate him!"
I started reading as a kid in the late 1960s and early 70s, a point at which Schulz was putting in some fairly thought-provoking dialogue. I don't think I would have liked it otherwise.
