"A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" has become a staple of Thanksgiving tradition in homes across the United States and beyond since its 1973 debut.
Even in years when I don't watch the special, I inevitably end up thinking about it either because of the nostalgia or because of the characters' inclusion in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
"A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" showcases Charlie, Linus, Snoopy, and Woodstock preparing a makeshift meal for their friends after Peppermint Patty invites herself and others over to Charlie and Sally's home for dinner.
The special comedically offers a nice message about friendship and being thankful, and it continues the tradition of holiday themed Peanuts specials started by "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown."
And despite recent misunderstanding, Franklin's chair breaking was a plot device used to spotlight him since he doesn't have as many quirks as the other kids and having him separated from other characters may have been a way to give a better view of the incident.
If you haven't done your yearly viewing of "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" yet, here's your reminder.
