Bon appétit, les amis!

Thanksgivings past

When I was little there was a Charlie Brown special for every occasion and I was even allowed to watch them on school nights. I wonder if children still watch the little block head in the US.

Do you remember Happy Thanksgiving Charlie Brown? In it the great chef and organizer, Snoopy, prepares the dinner table for Peppermint Patti, Marci and Franklin who have invited themselves over for the day's feast. Before they partake in a less than traditional meal of popcorn, toast and jellybeans, 

there's a great scene where the resourceful beagle must wrestle with a chair 

when setting up a table for the feast in the garden.

The chair man lurks again.

It's time to get out our DVD. 

Can you get to old for Snoopy and Charlie Brown?

Happy Thanksgiving, America!
