Harmless, fun, fantasy characters?

Laugh. Enjoy the music. Enjoy the characters. And laugh somemore.
Or don't watch it.
I haven't watched television in ten years. It's very easy to not watch television.

Some adults 'over think' a child's imagination. Have some faith in a child's imagination; enjoy and appreciated the wonder.

Seriously?
I think I'm insulted on behalf of children everywhere that anyone thinks they're that dumb.
The only inanimate object I've ever seen kids taught to depend on for happiness, and by their own parents among others, is green and made of paper.

This is my line of thinking as well. I do believe MOST children are much more intelligent than that.
I think we're reading too much into things.

Assuming the OP was serious...
I think it actually teaches against Idol Worship. Linus puts all his faith in something, and it doesn't come through. I'm reminded of the prophets of Ba'al up on Mt. Carmel, trying to wake up their god to get him to burn up their sacrifice.
But also - it's a kid's production. Kids believe silly things sometimes. And it's not like he was worshiping the Great Pumpkin - he just wanted some candy. If you want to know what - or more accurately, whom - Linus worships, watch the Charlie Brown Christmas Special.

Yes, that is the joke. We can't just get together and enjoy one anothers company, we have to create iconic figures that hand out goodies.

I've never personally taken part in a family+friends gathering where Santa or the Bunny take precedence over the people there. Have you?

I don't think it encourages idol worship.
