  3. Oh how I loved those Peanuts Specials, they were all great, and yes, the music is so memorable. I especially loved how the grownups sounded. We used to talk like that to irritate our parents! Hope things are going well for the Christmas Season!
    Blessings,

  12. We just loved the Charlie Brown Christmas special and looked forward to it every year. Isn't it amazing that Charles Schulz suffered from depression? He always worked little bits about his own suffering into his comic strip. "I have deep feelings of depression," a round-faced kid named Charlie Brown said to an imperious girl named Lucy in an early strip. "What can I do about it?"
    "Snap out if it," advised Lucy.

    I think it was good advice. All my best to you Marydon.
    XO Sue.
