A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

This is one of my favorite holiday specials and Peanuts TV specials: "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving". At first it starts with the football running gag with Charlie Brown and Lucy (who makes no further appearances after the football scene) in Peanuts, then they main story. Charlie Brown and Sally are going to their grandmother's house for Thanksgiving, but soon Charlie gets a call from Peppermint Patty, who had just invited herself along with Marice and Franklin. Not knowing what to do, Linus suggest they have 2 dinners: One for Peppermint Patty, Marice, and Franklin, and another when Charlie and Sally to their grandmothers. Charlie, with help form Linus, Snoopy, and Woodstock fix a Thanksgiving dinner. Soon Peppermint Patty, Marcie, and Franklin arrive and after the prayer, the dinner is severed. The dinner contained: Popcorn, Buttered Toast, Jelly Beans, and Pretzel Sticks. Well Patty is pretty mad and yelled at Charlie because it wasn't what she expected. Well not everyone's perfect. At least Charlie tried. Sad about what happened, Charlie leaves the table. Patty continues her rage until Marcie reminds her that Charlie didn't invite her, she invited HERSELF, along with Marice and Franklin. Patty feels guiltily about what happened, so she sends Marice to apologize to Charlie. But soon Patty follows Marcie and apologizes to Charlie herself. Also, this the special, this is where Marice starts calling Charlie "Charles". Soon Charlie Brown calls his Grandmother, saying he'll be late, but she invites all of Charlies to Thanksgiving for real. So they get to Charlie and Sally's parents car and drive to his Grandmas while singing "Over the River and Through the Woods". This airs yearly on ABC (and it's gonna air tomorrow)  with an episode of "The Is America, Charlie Brown". CHECK IT OUT!
