Wow–it’s officially December 1st, which means we’re so much closer to Christmas and the new year! Where does the time go? It seems we wait all year for the holiday season, and then it goes by way too fast. I geuss it’s true what they say, “time flies when you’re having fun!” My halls are all decked, but now I’m ready to enjoy baking cookies and watching Christmas movies!

Stay merry!

The ABC Television Network will kick off the holiday season with the classic half-hour animated PEANUTS special, “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,” TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on ABC. In the 1973 special, “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,” created by late cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, Charlie Brown wants to do something special for the gang. However, the dinner he arranges is a disaster when the caterers, Snoopy and Woodstock, prepare toast and popcorn as the main dish. Humiliated, it will take all of Marcie’s persuasive powers to salvage the holiday for Charlie Brown.

A special bonus cartoon from Charles M. Schulz, “This Is America, Charlie Brown: The Mayflower Voyagers,” will air with the PEANUTS classic, in which history comes to animated screen life in a captivating and informative program about the Mayflower voyagers.
