For those of us in the United States, Thanksgiving is upon us once again. It’s pretty safe to assume that most people are busy researching when to start defrosting their turkeys or preparing themselves to deal with distant family members. Whatever the case, you may not be thrilled about the Turkey Day celebrations. I can’t say I blame you. In my opinion, the holiday has always lacked the festive spirit so many other holidays have. I’ll spare you the details as to why, but I’m just not a fan of the food and football-driven celebration. I’m not a total Grinch (or whatever this holiday's alternative is), though. I do find some joy in it, especially when it comes to A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving — which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
It’s no secret I’m a fan of the Charles M. Schulz-produced cartoon characters I think It’s The Great Pumpkin is a must-watch during Halloween even though it no longer airs on TV. Despite the fact that it highlights the boring and somewhat problematic holiday, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (which you can still watch) continues to deliver on the zany shenanigans of the Peanuts gang, which is just one of the reasons why I watch it year after year.
