A Charlie Brown CHRISTMAS IN JULY in book form

There are those who say that Christmas is the most special time of year, but I am not among those, for more special to me and my crazed little heart is those times of years when a new book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas is made available. And these …

Maybe Charlie Brown just got his head stuck in a baby box?

The online ad that you see here (which is just a copy; you cannot click through on this one and have your insurance needs seen to) reminds me of something that I failed to do at San Diego Comic-Con. The Universal UClick booth had a green screen frame you could …
