Obviously Charlie Brown is not just a Christmas figure. But he stands out so much in A Charlie Brown Christmas. He struggles with materialism and the concept of what Christmas is all about. But through all of his titles in the special (Director, Pantophobic, Tree Buyer, Skater, Kid), he remains his true self. And that scene when he takes the tree and walks out of the auditorium in silence is a scene to treasure. And that's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.
Poor Chuck. He doesn't really deserve all the crap he gets each holiday! But yeah, he remains true to himself, no matter what.
