A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.

 

                                     A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.

If you love Thanksgiving as much as I do you will love this special, it is 

filled with a little comedy and what Thanksgiving is all about. Although 

Peppermint Patty pushed her way into Charlie Brown having to do all 

this stuff and not being nice to him it all worked out in the end and they 

all  got to spend Thanksgiving together as friends. So, with that, lets get 

to the story shall we:

The Browns are preparing to go to their grandmother's for Thanksgiving 

dinner when Charlie Brown gets a phone call from Peppermint Patty, 

who is alone for Thanksgiving ,her father is out of town and wants to 

come over for dinner. Two quick subsequent phone calls from 

Peppermint Patty add Marcie and Franklin to the guest list for a dinner 

that didn't exist. Linus suggests to a perplexed Charlie Brown that he 

could have two Thanksgiving dinners—one can be for himself, 

Peppermint Patty, and her friends, and the second one at his 

grandmother's house for his family. Charlie Brown says his cooking skills 

are limited to "cold cereal and maybe toast," so Linus 

recruits Snoopy and Woodstock to help. Charlie Brown, Snoopy, 

Woodstock and Linus prepare a feast of toast with margarine, pan-

fried popcorn, pretzel sticks and jelly beans; later, Snoopy sets up a ping 

pong table and chairs sparring with a lawn chair that comes to life, 

then dresses himself and a reluctant Woodstock at pop-gunpoint in 

Pilgrim attire for the occasion, though Charlie Brown rejects the latter 

idea.

The guests arrive and make their way to the backyard for the 

Thanksgiving feast. Linus leads the group in prayer that details the First 

Thanksgiving in 1621, and then Snoopy serves up the feast. Patty's 

initial shock at the unconventional meal quickly turns to outrage, and 

when she loudly berates the chefs, Charlie Brown timidly leaves the 

table. Patty's tirade continues until Marcie quietly reminds her that she 

had invited herself along with Marcie and Franklin. Coming to her 

senses, Patty asks Marcie to apologize to Charlie Brown on her behalf; 

Marcie reluctantly agrees, but Patty soon follows and apologizes to him 

herself. Following this, Charlie Brown is reminded that he and Sally are 

due at their grandmother's house for dinner, so he calls her and explains 

his situation. When he mentions his friends are there, and that they did 

not eat, his grandmother invites them all to Thanksgiving dinner, which 

is welcomed with cheers from everyone.

After the kids leave singing, Snoopy and Woodstock go to the doghouse 

and cook up their own traditional Thanksgiving meal. They then pull the 

wishbone which Woodstock wins. Over the end credits, the two friends 

each devour a large piece of pumpkin pie then sit back with contented 

smiles as Woodstock pats his full stomach.
