This is the holiday classic of which I spoke... couldn't wait for it to be on... and begged Mom for Dolly Madison cakes for sometime afterwards! Part of the family tradition :)
The Great Pumpkin presented Linus with classic messainic delusions. He was a precursor to U2's Bono, only smarter (the blankey was awesome...remember what that thing did for the christmas tree Charlie Brown bought).
So long as you didn't get a rock. :)
