Watch With Me: Thanksgiving Edition
Well, it is that time of year again for the most beloved and controversial holiday. That’s right, Thanksgiving! A time to question the cute stories they tell us in elementary school and eat a ton of food with your family and friends.
However, I am not here to discuss the pilgrims or my favorite side dish. I am here to give thanks for the oh so many Thanksgiving themed movies. (She says sarcastically.) My absolute favorite is A Charlie Brown’s Thanksgiving! I never ever miss it on TV, but thanks to Apple TV (more sarcasm) it is no longer on our local programming, but instead on streaming. Which just means, I was able to watch it even earlier this year than normal!
To celebrate the happy occasion, I thought we would do another WATCH WITH ME featuring the one and only Charlie Brown. Feel free to watch along with me, and see if you have the same thoughts throughout!
A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Thoughts:
My father is definitely Lucy
…and I guess that makes me Charlie Brown (good grief)
I know how Charlie Brown feels, I once gave myself a bloody nose while kicking a football
Do people normally send out thanksgiving cards?
Sally is very similar to my sister (was this show based on my family??)
Is Peppermint Patty her real name or did she designate that her nickname?
Where is her mom?
Aren’t these kids supposed to be in the 6 year old range…why don’t any of their parents want them at thanksgiving dinner?
Poor Snoopy is definitely treated like a butler more than a companion
“Little Birdie” will now be stuck in my head for the rest of the week
I wish I had a third of the talent Snoopy has
Unpopular Opinion: Linus is a jerk
Does Marcie really think anyone owns more than one outfit?
Snoopy definitely stole all those toasters from the neighbors’ kitchens
When I was younger, I was so jealous of Snoopy and Charlie Brown’s version of a Thanksgiving feast
I gotta learn how to fold napkins to look like fancy little hats
Oh my gosh! Is Snoopy secretly a witch/warlock?? He has a doghouse JUST LIKE Grandma Cromwell’s purse in Halloweentown!! Mind Blown.
Ooh wait now I think Woodstock and Snoopy might be some sort of aliens from outer space with their higher intelligences
Why are they always making Franklin sit alone???
Every time Marcie calls Peppermint Patty sir, I can’t help but laugh out loud
Hehehe, Priscila
The female children on this show are extremely flirtatious for their age
I love how Charlie Brown uses his first and last name when he calls his grandma on the phone…wait unless Brown is his middle name…still weird
Snoopy and Woodstock must LOVE it when they have the house to themselves
I didn’t realize anyone actually knew the words to that song
Wait, did Woodstock just eat turkey…did he just eat another bird even though he is a bird?
Oh my goodness, did you see that devilish look on Woodstock’s face when he got the bigger end of the wishbone…I can’t even imagine what that little birdie wished for.
Did you have any similar thoughts while watching this Thanksgiving Day special? Let me know in the comments! I loved writing out my thoughts in another edition of WATCH WITH ME. I hope someone out there enjoyed it as well!
Thankful and Laughing,
