Peanuts holiday boxed set

If you’re looking forward to the new Peanuts DVDs, get the Peanuts Holiday Collection DVD boxboxed set. Not only do you get three DVDs (A Charlie Brown Christmas, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown) for about $10 less than buying them separately, you also get them weeks before a couple weeks before the last two of the individual disks are scheduled to ship.

(And yes, despite the fact the box says it has three specials, it actually has all six, including the bonus special on each disk.)

Added later: Whoops, I somehow missed that in addition to all that, the boxed set also has an exclusive CD of six Peanuts songs. A bargain gets even bargainer!
