Why Did Linus Drop the Blanket?
In A Charlie Brown Christmas, Linus—who is rarely seen without his beloved security blanket—does something remarkable. As he recites the words from Luke 2:10, “And the angel said unto them, Fear not…”, he lets go of the blanket.
Why?
Because in that moment, Linus is emphasizing a profound truth—for you and for me:
“Fear not.”
I invite you to join the Blanket-Dropping Club.
Why?
Because the blanket—your fear, your need for control, your false security—isn’t necessary anymore.
Are you…
-
Afraid?
-
Lonely?
-
Scared?
-
Anxious?
-
Human?
Drop the blanket.
Let go.
The Savior has come.
You are not alone.
You do not need to be afraid.
The angel’s message still echoes today:
“Fear not.”
