  IT CAME! After I got back from Dee's birthday dinner, I saw the tiny cardboard BMG box sitting on my coffee table.
Inside: CHARLIE BROWN'S HOLIDAY HITS!!!!! I think of all of my favorite childhood cartoons/comics, I always resonated most with Charlie Brown. I loved the cartoons, the comics... the music. This CD is already going to be one of my most treasured, I just know it. I remember my mother taking me on weekly local library trips. The first thing I always would do is run over to the stacks that had the Peanuts comics collections.
I would pull the book out, and sit down for at least an hour or two to finish reading the one I had picked. I remember always getting excited to watch the Charlie Brown specials, the Christmas one being my most favorite. I remember trying to plunk out the theme song, "Linus and Lucy", out on the piano. Thank you, Charles Schulz, for the timeless world that you created. Thank you, Vince Guaraldi, for these timeless musical masterpieces.
