There are classic Peanuts television specials for every season, event and holiday. (Anyone remember It’s Arbor Day, Charlie Brown?) But it seems like Charlie Brown and the gang belong especially to this time of year, thanks to the trilogy of It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving and A Charlie Brown Christmas. For me, these films are required annual viewing. And the soundtrack always finds its way into my CD player right around the time of the first snowfall.
Of course, there are many, many seasonal viewing traditions — A Christmas Story, maybe, or The Nightmare Before Christmas. What are your favorites?
