Although perhaps not as beloved as its predecessors, A Charlie Brown Christmas and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, the 1973 TV special A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving nevertheless is a holiday staple. In fact, except for not airing for a few years in the 1980s, it has become a Thanksgiving rite for generations -- so much so that there was outcry in 2020 after Apple TV+ acquired the exclusive rights to classic Peanuts animated specials and new series. Fans want their Charlie Brown holiday traditions.

That’s a pretty rough childhood. I’m glad to hear that you didn’t get killed by that thug, which I’m going to guess was their intent.

Sorry you had to endure all that.

And you are quite correct on the muslim issue. There is no compromising with them. Ever.

That’s Tolkien.

Everyone at the table knew Franklin brought a knife.

Actually Franklin is at the head of the table. Linus and Marcie were on the sides. Everyone else is at the foot.
You’ll notice that Franklin is the only one that has a chair with arms!
