In A Charlie Brown Christmas, Linus's "the true meaning of Christmas" quote is Luke 2:8-14 from the King James translation of the Bible.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men.
That's the true meaning of Christmas, Charlie Brown.
In a sidenote, in the cartoon Frosty the Snowman, the ticket taker tries to route a trip for Frosty to the north pole via Nome, Alaska. No train tracks go through Nome.
