War on Christmas Alert! The Today Show’s Matt Lauer Turns a Christmas Carol into a “Holiday Song”

By Nicholas Stix

“And that is Al Roker’s favorite holiday song.”

That was Lauer’s response to a clip shown this morning, at 8:00 a.m. on the dot, of the cartoon characters wishing Charlie Brown a Merry Christmas, and singing “Hark the Herald Angels Sing!” in the 1965 special, A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Today did not tell or show viewers the TV movie’s name.
