Lee Mendelson ~ RIP


Lee Mendelson, executive producer of the celebrated Christmas classic, A Charlie Brown Christmas, died on Christmas morning. He was 86. His son called the timing "serendipitous."

I didn't know he wrote the lyrics to the show's song, Christmas Time is Here, on the back of an envelope.


More memories here following the animated special's 50th anniversary in 2015.
