Writing Christmas songs is easy. It's writing good ones that is hard. There's a reason why plenty of Christmas songs fall by the wayside. Overplay is a factor, as is changing tastes. Sometimes, they're just terrible songs. But in 1965, Californian jazz musician Vince Guaraldi gifted the world an album of music that has stood the test of time, the sound track to the animated film A Charlie Brown Christmas. This special festive edition of Long Player looks at how this collection of songs has earned such a special place in the hearts of so many people.
