Barack Obama failed to mention Jesus in his description of A Charlie Brown Christmas and its message about the true meaning of Christmas during ABC’s It’s Your 50th Christmas, Charlie Brown. Good grief.

The president and first lady spoke briefly during the Monday night Christmas special in remembrance of the 50th anniversary of 1965’s A Charlie Brown Christmas.

In describing the show and that famous scene, in which Linus Van Pelt explains the true meaning of Christmas by reciting Luke 2:8-14, Barack Obama said it teaches “us that tiny trees just need a little love and that on this holiday we celebrate peace on Earth and good will toward all.”

The Luke passage and Linus speech does mention “peace on Earth and good will toward men,” but that passage is not the answer to the question of the true meaning of Christmas.

Here is a transcript of that part of A Charlie Brown Christmas (or watch the video below):
