Peanuts covered all the major holidays, which is why all my childhood memories are indelibly linked to them. It was the combination of the simplistic colorful animation and Vince Guaraldi jazz compositions which captured the imagination. Watching this stuff play out was more entertaining than the holiday itself, which always ended up being a disappointment. Truth be told, I can't think of many others besides The Mayflower Voyagers and Garfield's Thanksgiving Special.
Anyway, Peppermint Patty invites herself over to Chuck's, so he and Snoopy must improvise in a hurry. It's not quite the classic that Christmas and Halloween were, but it's in my top 5 favorite Peanuts specials.
