It makes a somewhat more impressive object than your basic coloring book.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I&#8217;ve received my copy of A Charlie Brown Christmas Wrapping Paper Activity Book, and so I&#8217;m prepared to answer the most vital question of our time: does it qualify for our list of book adaptations of\u00a0A Charlie Brown Christmas.
