Macgirl's Media Pick of the Week: Snoopy for Thanksgiving!!

Ok, I am going to recommend a really cutesy-cute media pick this week.  As a person who loves Peanuts and all that Charles Schultz touches, I have to mention the best Thanksgiving tale of all, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving!  It is a short, and sweet, example of how the Peanuts gang would throw a real feast, including toast and popcorn for all. 

Look for the half hour special to air on a station near you this week.  If you miss it (or want to watch on your own timeframe) of course, it's available on iTunes for $9.99.  The iTunes download includes two bonus features, "Mayflower Voyagers" and "Play It Again, Charlie Brown". 

A childhood favorite that still gets me into the spirit, I'll be sure to share this one with the nieces and nephews!

Macgirl Media Pick of the Week: It's the Great Pumpkin

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Halloween.  I love the scary, the gory, and definitely the sweet.  When I'm not fashioning fancy blood- squirting vampire fangs and eating copius amounts of candy, I take a half hour to watch the best Halloween classic, It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

I really think everyone in America has seen this animation, and I'd hate to ruin it for the three adults who haven't watched it, so I'll hold back on the plotline information.  Suffice it to say, it involves the whole Peanuts gang, trick-or-treating, and a pumpkin patch.  Watch for the eeerie howls of Snoopy, and the cute costumes (poor Charlie Brown, he can't catch a break...) and the unrequited love all around. 

You can find the stand-alone DVD on Amazon:  It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown
