Maybe all of us are feeling a little bit like a Charlie Brown Christmas tree, given 2020.

Head of Anna Julia Cooper Episcopal School Mike Maruca said of the Richmond, Va., community’s enthusiasm for purchasing Charlie Brown Christmas trees from a small lot to raise money for the private middle school which provides full scholarships for its students, all of whom come from low-income families, and is entirely funded by donors and local foundations. Frank Pichel’s Charlie Brown Christmas trees helped raise $5,554 for the school across three weekends.  (AP News — Dec. 22, 2020)
