A Charlie Brown Christmas airs tonight

Leading off tonight’s ABC prime time lineup is A Charlie Brown Christmas, but it’s only slated for a half an hour, which means it’s the edited-down version.

I presume there’s a second run of A Charlie Brown Christmas planned for later this month, with the unedited version followed by the Christmas Tales material, but I’ve not seen a schedule announced.
