As a kid, I loved Peanuts because it was a cartoon. And cartoons were a rarity, especially in prime time. Whenever we'd see the Charlie Brown Christmas Special I recognized that that one monologue was the very bestest part of the whole show. And it made me really like Linus and think him to be a smart cookie! Even if he carried a blankie around. :)
When this came out, my mom never watched it with us kids because she didn't like cartoons much. This year she finally saw it and largely due to this monologue, she loves the show! It's a classic! :)
I am a fashionably clueless stay-at-home mommy, married to my one true love for 18 years. We have a 9 year old son, a 7 year old daughter and one angel baby. We also have two kitties (Sherman who is 18 1/2 years old and Casper who is 13.) I am a recovering perfectionist, who loves white chocolate macadamia nut cookies and watching Wednesday night tv. If lovin' The Middle, Modern Family and Cougar Town is wrong, then I don't wanna be right. So, cozy up to your computer in your most comfty pajamas and fuzziest slippers, and join me as I fumble through this thing called motherhood (hopefully, with some amount of dignity and grace.) And if anything personifies digity and grace, it's definitely flannel and fuzzy slippers.
