For as long as I can remember, every year as a kid I looked forward to watching “It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” on TV. It was just one of those holiday shows that was a tradition in our household and was a staple every Halloween. As our children have grown, we have continued this tradition but maybe less formally than in the past.
No longer are we tied to a specific time and date to see this Charlie Brown classic, instead we now have the luxury of instant gratification by owning the blu-ray. The story is still timeless and spans just about any generation young or old alike. All of your favorite peanuts characters are present and I must say that this and “A Charlie Brown Christmas” are my favorite Charlie Brown stories.
To celebrate Halloween, we are giving away 1ea Blu-ray/dvd combo pack of “It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” to one of our lucky readers. Enter the giveaway below for your chance to win.
