That’s me, holding up the leather-bound Easton Press edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas: The Making of a Tradition, which I scooped up with a little recent birthday money. With this purchase, I now own every edition of print adaptations of A Charlie Brown Christmas. Well, every one that I know of. Every one that’s out so far, that is. There will be one or two new ones out this fall, and if I don’t snag those, the completeness of my set shall come to an end… but what are the odds of that happening?
(Some people seek to triumph by bringing peace or curing diseases. Me, I set my sights lower… and I win!)
