Thanksgiving Tradition

So tonight is the night that ABC will be showing the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special. I have to admit that I have not seen this one as often as I have the Halloween and Christmas specials. I don't really remember that much about this one. I'm sure that it is as good as the others.

I picked this one to write about today for the simple reason that we have a Charlie Brown special for just about everything. There is one for Christmas (my favorite), Halloween and even Valentines. This is the thing that makes this pop culture for me. This character has penetrated into our lives to a point that these specials are being played on a regular basis even 40+ years after they were first created. That is what is amazing to me. These simple cartoons have had incredible staying power in our society.

So tonight why don't you take the hour from 7:00-8:00 and watch Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving Special...if nothing else it will lead you up to Dancing with the Stars. Peace and Love y'all.
