Charlie Brown

We're nearing the one-year anniversary of the two-week pause to flatten the curve. Facebook memories are beginning to pop up to remind us what it was like before the pandemic.

PBS will run the specials thanks to a deal with Apple.

These specials take me back to my childhood, and I looked forward to watching them every year with my siblings

You don't have to wait for "January snowflakes" to mark your calendars for the Charlie Brown holiday specials!

Today is the 65th anniversary of the “Peanuts” comic strip debut and December is the 50th anniversary of one of the most popular holiday TV classics of all time- “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” To celebrate National Stamp Collecting Month the U.S. Postal Service is unveiling "A Charlie Brown Christmas" Forever stamps nationwide.

Decorating the tree, Christmas cookies, candy canes and big soft sweaters.  Just some of the reasons I love Christmastime, but probably my favorite is curling up on the couch with a fluffy blanket, cup of hot chocolate and a big bowl of popcorn and watching the Christmas specials and movies on TV that I grew up with.
