I haven’t watched “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” in years. The Peanut’s Halloween cartoon special always confused me as a little kid. I wanted to know why the Great Pumpkin never came to see me. Sure, I had the tooth fairy & Santa Clause, but I didn’t see why there was a mythical character that wasn’t bringing me presents. Even as an adult it makes me want to write Halloween carols.

There’s just something about this movie that makes me want to buy tons of wholesale candy & be the cool house on the street. You know the house, the one that gave out full sized candy bars instead of the “fun size” ones. The gang just makes me want to bring the magic back to everyday life. It’s a Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown is a reminder to never stop believing, even when it doesn’t make sense. Especially then.
