Vince Guaraldi Trio - Skating free for downloading

The people who dislike this put their milk in before their cereal

As Christmas approaches, I felt the need to express my humble opinion regarding this music. Nostalgia pervades the music of Vince Guaraldi coupled with the work of Charles Schultz. For me, Guaraldi’s music brings me back to my youth, to a cold Christmas day, surrounded by the warmth of both the cozy fire and my ever-loving family. To a time of pure bliss, where innocence and ignorance kept my mind at ease, where worries ceased to exist. As a young adult, I carry that longing for the past, who wouldn’t? However, that being said, I know I must carry on, for I will one day be providing the same security and comfort my parents gave me to my own children, and that in itself, is pure joy. So as I sit here… listening to the music of Vince Guaraldi and pondering life, I believe the words of Nick Carrway from the brilliant novel The Great Gatsby best sums up what I’m trying to say:                 So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. Happy Holidays to all! May the Music of Vince Guaraldi continue to bring happiness into the hearts of all!

The first popular jazz I ever heard. I loved it immediately and had no idea it would become my favorite genre.

All of Vince's Peanuts Christmas tunes, make me further loathe being an adult, and long once again for my "holiday season childhood!" Lol, (sigh) where did the years go?

this sounds right in the middle of July too

The most underrated song in jazz history.  This song has everything in it, compact, efficient, exuberant, I get tears every time I hear this song.  It's the power of Love descending in the Holy Spirit on Christmas Eve.  I love the way much of his music just slips away at the end, seamless into eternity...this man was connected to the source.

Who didn't love this growing up? It is the one thing we all have most in common! Charlie Brown!

This music takes me back to a more innocent and simpler time. The music and all of the Peanuts scripts/movies always give a smile on my face, even in times of hardship as an adult. Charles Schultz and Vince Guaraldi will always remain with us and their legacies will last the test of time. It makes me somewhat emotional realizing that only a decade ago I was twelve. Adults have a rather complicated way of viewing the world, I wish it was otherwise. But based upon the experiences I've encountered, the childlike innocence is no longer there. It may sound depressing, but I'm in this world alone and leave alone. But like Charlie Brown, "Someday the sun will shine my way." I don't know when, but I know it when I'll feel it. And when it does, I'll reply back to this comment.

This only christmas music I really like

Almost 11 years ago I asked my wife for her hand in marriage while skating. This song will always hold a special place in my heart ❤️

I love this soundtrack ---- it is like a cup of hot cocoa on a cold winters day. Such beautiful, almost timeless music!!!

First song I hear in The Peanuts Movie. Now that's what I'm talking about!

Vince was such an amazing musician! GONE TOO SOON!

The moment you know the Peanuts Movie is gonna be good is when you hear this song start.

Lucy: You think you’re so smart with that blanket, what are you gonna do with it when you grow up? Linus: Maybe I’ll make it into a sport coat.

I love how the cymbals sound like snow.

You won't believe how much I want to like this more than once.

God i wish there was more music like this
