All but one of the images &#8211; a shot of Lucy, Schroeder, and the bust of Beethoven &#8211; are outdoors during clearly non-snowy weather, with bright suns and green grass.) But it&#8217;s the center part of the trifold that holds the thing that made me purchase this: a reprint of the first book adaptation of <em>A Charlie Brown Christmas<\/em>, which was illustrated by Peanuts comic book artist Dale Hale and published in 1965. This is a different format than the original book, as this staple-bound (excuse me, &#8220;saddle stitched&#8221;) booklet is taller than wide. The text has been re-typeset, but the words remain the same.<\/p>\n<p>Now excuse me, I have to go move some of my non-<em>A Charlie Brown Christmas<\/em> Christmas Peauts books from a shelf so that I have room to fit this along its many brethren.<\/p>\n<p>You can order this as your first Christmas order for 2016 n.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What better way to start off the new year of this blog with our favorite thing &#8211; a new book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas!
