my2browneyes: Chris Evans looking out (contemplation Chris Evans)
Goodness yes I'm behind.  

Day 3 - In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much. 

It's honestly hard for me to pick just one. But since it was just Christmas, a standout for me is from A Charlie Brown Christmas. There are so many great parts from that special, but the one I'm thinking of is Lucy asking Schroeder to play Jingle Bells on the piano.

Schroeder is a magician and can make the piano sound like anything. He plays a few different arrangements of Jingle Bells, but Lucy doesn't recognize it. Then feeling frustrated, he holds out his arm with one finger pointed down and uses that finger to play a very simple version of the song. And of course that is the one Lucy recognizes.

So why do I love it? Maybe because it shows how you have to say the same thing in different ways before someone will understand. Maybe because I have felt Schroeder's frustration myself, and I love how he handles it by playing the tune in the simplest way possible. I also just love the visual of him with his arm stuck out and finger pointed down.
