Most notably, it&#8217;s a different size than the Hallmark version, an inch and a half larger in weight and width (but not, of course, thickness.)<\/p>\n<p>But beyond this&#8230; it&#8217;s the happy edition. The Hallmark edition&#8217;s cover was just Charlie Brown with the pathetic little tree, in all its original stark insufficiency. The new version has Charlie Brown and the whole crowd (including the anachronistically-added Peppermint Patty and Marcie&#8230; although Franklin doesn&#8217;t get injected) celebrating the tree after the latest episode <em>Extreme Makeover: Tree Edition<\/em>. And where the frontispiece image on the Hallmark version was CB kneeling mournfully at the unadorned tree, the new edition has a gleeful round-headed kid carrying the tree.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/aaugh.com\/images\/cbc\/2010Ccsmall.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"CB Christmas Hallmark sound buttons\" src=\"http:\/\/aaugh.com\/images\/cbc\/2010Ccsmall.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"301\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yes, Charlie Brown was happy, but the tree was sad.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This is probably the final new version of A Charlie Brown Christmas in book form for this year.
