For those of you who can relate, remember this???
Thanks to YouTube I found this snippet. So to get back into character remember the era. Here's your inspiration. It's the 70's. You are in the living room with your parents. They are on the scratchy green twill couch and you are lying on the shag rug on your stomach with your head on your hands watching the console television set. Mom reminds you not to sit too close to the TV because of the radiation it gives off. The TV Guide listed that "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" was going to be on tonight, so you made sure you setup the time with the parents to watch it, because there are hardly any cartoons on TV and Charlie Brown with Snoopy is only on for the holidays and it's one of your absolute favorites. And if you miss it, you'll have to wait until next Thanksgiving for your chance to see it again. So 1 minute before 8:00pm CBS flashes the special logo, your heart races a little, and you think how great your life is at that moment. It is all you need to be happy.

..and then a few years later you discover beer and ...wellother things that make you hapyy.
Ah, yes, I remember that well. I think we usually went over to Grandma Bea's & Grandpa Bud's to watch these specials. Maybe not Thanksgiving, but Christmas specials for sure. I think Katrine, Mike & Wanda would sometimes come too, so it was all 5 of us grandkids. I'm sure Grandma and Grandpa were in heaven!
william Well said. Ben Franklin did say "beer is proof that God loves us." Who am I to disagree with a founding father of our country? Then there's that golf thing too...
cb No doubt! There's nothing like the company of the Bud and the Bea!
