what is the charlie brown christmas tree

The Charlie Brown Christmas tree is a small, unattractive tree that Charlie Brown's friend Linus brings to him, hoping to use it for the school Christmas pageant. The tree is so pitiful that Charlie Brown feels bad for it and decides to take it home, but his sister calls it a "sad little Christmas tree." Despite its imperfections, the Charlie Brown Christmas tree becomes the centerpiece of the pageant, and it ultimately teaches the lesson that Christmas is about more than just material things.
