Peanuts Gang

As a kid you knew it was getting close to Christmas when the Trilogy was shown on TV, and no I’m not talking about Star Wars or Lord of The Rings. When ‘The Kid’ was growing up it was all about the Peanuts gang! I enjoyed reading the funny papers, but it was the TV shows that sealed the deal. There was nothing better than watching “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”. I still think that Linus will one day see the Great Pumpkin.

Then you knew it was time for the official countdown to Christmas, when Mom informed you that “Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” was on tonight. It still kind of annoys me that Lucy pulls the football away from Charlie Brown, that is just not right.

The end game, Santa time was when the “A Charlie Brown Christmas” special showed up on the TV! Who can forget Snoopy decorating his doghouse? Life was a lot simpler back then. I still try to watch the shows every year, but it seems like my life is always too busy to catch all three.
