this weekend, BC saw a charlie brown christmas and frosty the snowman for the first time, two holiday programs that i watched religiously every year growing up. (charlie brown was first shown the year that i was born.) i know it is just TV, but it made me so happy watching her watching those shows, especially charlie brown, which has always been my favorite holiday show. sure, there are all those cheesy rankin-bass shows from the 1970s that i saw, too, but they never held a candle to charlie. listening to her laugh at snoopy was worth the price of admission. watching her dance when schroeder was playing linus and lucy was a hoot.
