“Christmas is doing a little something extra for someone”

“Chirstmas is doing a little something extra for someone” is a popular Christmas saying that has been printed on many images. American cartoonist Charles M. Schulz (1922-2000) wrote the saying for a Peanuts comic strip that was printed in newspapers in December 1965.

Charles Monroe Schulz (November 26, 1922 – February 12, 2000), nicknamed Sparky, was an American cartoonist best known for the comic strip Peanuts (which featured the characters Charlie Brown and Snoopy, among others). He is widely regarded as one of the most influential cartoonists of all time, cited as a major influence by many later cartoonists, including Calvin and Hobbes creator Bill Watterson.
