Around Halloween I was at Starbucks having a cup of tea with a friend and happened to notice the free app cards by the till. One of them was a Charlie Brown "great pumpkin" story. I am not an iphoner so I got my husband to down load it onto his phone and then read it to our youngest at bed time. It is actually a pretty cool app, the story is interactive - the kids can touch the screen and make the characters dance and that sort of thing.
We figured that the little one would enjoy it but we completely underestimated how much he would enjoy it. He LOVED it. He laughed at the funny parts and was concerned about the arrival of the great pumpkin at the right time. It is now December and we are just now able to read him other stories at bed time.
More recently we PVR'd (I can't say we taped it because no one tapes anything anymore) the Charlie Brown Christmas movie. With their popcorn buckets full and and PJ's on they watched a movie that debuted in 1965 and has been watched by millions every year at Christmas time. In fact I think both my husband and I watched it on TV at about the same age. They laughed and enjoyed it as much as we did when we were little.
Maybe it will still be cool when they have kids?
I love that show :) the kids read the book and i think we are going to watch the movie this weekend, along with other fun christmas movies of course :)
