Station Break: A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving


Until now, most of our Station Break installments have focused on music, but today’s media players can handle so much more than that, I thought it was time to mention one of the videos I have been enjoying lately.  And what better video to highlight right now than A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.

Most people who know me know that Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays.  yet, more and more it gets increasingly overlooked by many people.  It is just that day we get off from school or work which falls pretty much midway between dressing up for Halloween and trimming the tree for Christmas.  Lately, it seems like as soon as the jack-o-lanterns come down, the Christmas trees come out.  My favorite turkeys are lost in that crazy two month shuffle.

But I digress.  the point here is that while there are a plethora of Halloween and Christmas specials on TV, there is really only one Thanksgiving special worth watching, and that is the one starring Charlie Brown and all of his friends.

If you have never seen it, you really should spend the half hour you will need to sit down and watch it.  Your Thanksgiving feast will never feel the same after you witness Snoopy hosting his own Thanksgiving, with courses such as jellybeans, popcorn, and buttered toast.  Everyone should have such treats at their Thanksgiving.

So, check out this hilarious and fun Thanksgiving holiday special.  And I hope you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving this week.  I certainly did!

My wife and I both love this particular Charlie Brown special, especially the fact that Woodstock is revealed to be a cannibal.

Every year for the past several years I’ve done virtually all the holiday cooking for my semi-invalid inlaws. We literally do an “Over the river (well, assorted creeks) and through the woods / To (my wife’s) Grandmother’s house we go” for Thanksgiving. It works pretty well roasting the turkey, transferring it an extra roaster and packing the crew into the car and zipping across town to haul up the now “rested” turkey, stuffing, gravy, candied sweet potatos and all up 27 steps to the front door of my inlaws’ home. I wish they’d get an escalator… :)

NIce, Breles. Sounds like a great Thanksgiving, even if you did have to recook a bit. :)

Maybe you need to get your Grandmother one of those chair lifts to ride up the stairs. :)
