I believe that I have earned the right to talk to you about business. After all, as the richest man in Bedford Falls, I have achieved the type of monetary success that few people will ever have.
This letter is to certain members of Corporate America-and you know who you are: I believe that I have earned the right to talk to you about business. After all, as the richest man in Bedford Falls, I have achieved the type of monetary success that few people will ever have. As I sit here dictating this letter to you, I must admit to having some mixed feelings. On the one hand, I want to congratulate you on choosing to do business the way I would. I love it when you raise prices prior to a "sale," so that the customer thinks he is getting a bargain. I think it is terrific business when you coerce a customer to tell you what she wants to spend, under the guide of "helping her", only to then raise the price of the good or service to what she told you she wanted to spend.

Can you believe that it’s been 48 years since A Charlie Brown Christmas first aired on CBS in December 1965? While the story of Charlie Brown, a pathetic tree, and the rest of the Peanuts gang has been a traditional fixture during the Holidays every year since it was first broadcast-did you know that the network was originally disappointed with the way the show turned out? According to the show’s producer Lee Mendelson, the network executives who screened the show prior to its broadcast said, “Well you gave it a good shot,” and “It seems a little flat . . . a little slow,” and “We will, of course, air it next week, but I’m afraid we won’t be ordering any more.”
