As much as Linus appreciates your kind words, Charlie Brown, you heard what he told you, in Panel 2—he’s a HORRIBLE singer, his singing STINKS, and thus, he could NEVER qualify to sing in public, much less in front of the whole PTA—they all would COVER their ears in a HEARTBEAT, at Linus’ horrible OFF-KEY singing. Ten to one, Lucy had done this on purpose, just to tease Linus, since she even knew how horrible a singer he was.

As I have often said, this scripture says nothing about making a beautiful noise unto the Lord, just a joyful one. Not sure, however, that the Lord is all that taken with “Jingle Bells.”

Not very joyful noise there, Linus.
