There are a number of minor matters I should cover here today:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you&#8217;re looking for discounts on Peanuts books, today is a good day to head to your local Barnes &amp; Noble bookstore, as they are offering 50% off all hardcover books &#8212; so it might be a great day to grab any <strong>Complete Peanuts<\/strong> or <strong>Peanuts Every Sunday<\/strong> that Santa didn&#8217;t bring you that they might have in stock&#8230; or even a copy of <strong><a id=\"amznPsBmLink_5822415\" class=\"amzn_ps_bm_tl\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1681888602\/ref=as_li_bk_tl\/?tag=aaugh-20&amp;linkId=b0092874220832f66d61b6ff748bfb9d&amp;linkCode=ktl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-amzn-ps-bm-keyword=\"Charles M.

Schulz: The Art and Life of the Peanuts Creator in 100 Objects<\/a><\/strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"amznPsBmPixel_5822415\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important; height: 0px !important; width: 0px !important;\" src=\"https:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?source=bk&amp;t=aaugh-20&amp;bm-id=default&amp;l=ktl&amp;linkId=b0092874220832f66d61b6ff748bfb9d&amp;_cb=1672070709448\" alt=\"\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" border=\"0\" \/>. (The online store is only offering 50% offf a limited selection of titles, and a quick check finds no Peanuts titles among them. However, the website can be used to look up whether your local store has copies of a book in stock, which might help you decide whether it&#8217;s worth a trip to the store.)<\/li>\n<li>According to Billboard, the bestselling album in the nation for the week ending December 24 was the new Taylor Swift album. Number 2? The\u00a0<em>A Charlie Brown Christmas<\/em> soundtrack! Seriously &#8212; an over-a-half-century-old jazz album was a breath away from the very top of the charts. Now, I expect sales to plummet now that the holiday has passed, but nonetheless, it says something about the staying power of the bald-headed kid and his sad little tree.<\/li>\n<li>Speaking of that soundtrack&#8230; I did at one point note that the relatively cheap edition was listed as coming with the same liner notes book as the ultra-deluze one. Well, it turns out that whereas the expensive version gives you an actual full-on book, the cheaper version gives you the same material in a little booklet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Meanwhile, 2023 is barreling its way here, quick as anything. May it be a good one! (Let&#8217;s face it, we&#8217;re grading years on a curve these days&#8230;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I hope that all of you who were Christmassing had a good one, and all of you who are Hannukafying are taking pleasure in these last few hours of the festival.
