Halloween Tradition

It's our Halloween tradition:



I just keep hoping one year the Great Pumpkin will actually show up so that Linus will not have to face the fury of a woman scorned, which as we all know, is "nothing compared to the fury of a woman who has been cheated out of tricks or treats."

Or that Charlie Brown will look in his bag and discover a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup or a Bottlecap or something. Because, as I've confessed before, his discovery of a rock always makes me cry a little.

I absolutely LOVE this tradition...it is one of ours as well. Even though my kids are now teens, rest assured, we'll be crowed around the TV watching.

I've been watching that show for almost 40 years. It's always been rocks, no matter how hard I wish otherwise.

I haven't seen it for years. And maybe, subconsciously, that's why....

Then again, I'm not sure my youngest has seen it. I may have to buy it so we can all be sad together. There's something satisfying in that...
