What is most important is that I hope you were inspirited by the story. There is way too much negativity in the air these days, and it is my hope and prayer that the story spoke to you in a positive way. If every day were like Christmas, “what a wonderful world this would be!” Imagine Our once homeless people have jobs and a place to live. Our veterans and elderly are being cared for as they should be. Our streets and schools would be safe for all children. Our world is at peace. “Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with me.”

Janis is the "Queen" of Christmas. In her world it would be Christmas everyday of the year. Not for the gifts that are given and received but for the love of family and friends. The togetherness. The food, smells, decorations, carols, movies and the books. The JOY of the Christmas season. This little book is a quick read but you will find it packed with inspiration and the sense of community as the little town comes together to revive their dying area. Are YOU one of those people in town? If not, you may find yourself wishing that you were.... This was not written from an experience but out of the imagination after driving through a town much like Franklin. It was the sadness of seeing boarded up store fronts and a shopping mall with very few cars in it in area with rich farmand and glorious sunsets. The image was real and put on the "shelf" for sometime. It was taken off that shelf at Christmas as Janis sat by the light of the Christmas tree and meditated. The house was quiet and the thoughts swirling in her head had to be put on paper. Franklin is a made up town, but if you happen upon a town called Franklin you may want to take time to explore. Just maybe there is a real story in that town, just waiting to be discovered.

Discover the inspiring, unknown, against-all-odds story of how the classic animated holiday special A Charlie Brown Christmas almost never made it on to television. Professor and cultural historian Michael Keane reveals much in this nostalgia-inducing book packed with original research and interviews. Keane compellingly shows that the ultimate broadcast of the Christmas special—given its incredibly tight five-month production schedule and the decidedly unfavorable reception it received by the skeptical network executives who first screened it—was nothing short of a miracle. Keane explains why the show, despite its technical shortcomings, has become an uplifting and enduring triumph embraced by millions of families every Christmas season, even more than fifty years after its premiere. This gripping and joyful behind-the-scenes story of how the creators of A Charlie Brown Christmas struggled to bring the program to life will also help readers (and loyal fans) understand how America’s favorite Christmas special changed our popular culture forever. Keane masterfully weaves the momentous events of 1965 (the turbulent year of the program’s production) into his story, providing critical context for a profound new understanding of the program’s famous climactic scene, Linus’s spot-lit soliloquy answering the question repeatedly posed by Charlie Brown—"Isn't there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?”
