Charlie Brown Christmas Tree


Charlie Brown may have had a bit of a rough road on his way to Christmas and maybe his tree wasn’t the biggest or couldn’t really hold up any ornaments but it was a real tree and it was endearing and he fought against the commercialism of the holiday (fight the power Charlie B, fight the power) and in the end everyone had a Merry Christmas after all. Oh sorry, spoiler alert. You too can have the best Christmas ever, or give the best Christmas present ever with this Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. It’s a real live Norfolk Island Pine tree in a little box.

This little houseplant measures 10-12 inches (including the pot) and comes with a single small red ornament to complete the Peanuts effect. It’s a live tree, so give it some water, keep it from freezing, and talk to it and you’ll have a little bit of the spirit of Christmas year round. And the best part is that you don’t have to smell Pigpen. Now let’s all go ice skating on a frozen pond and sing “Christmas Time is Here”.

Japan Gets Snoopy Museum to Celebrate Peanuts

Most of the Peanuts’ holiday specials and cartoons that were around when I was a kid weren’t exactly new even then. They were always how I knew the holidays were near as a child. It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown told me it was almost time for free candy, and that Christmas was around the corner. A Charlie Brown Christmas meant Santa Claus was almost here. I still watch those holiday specials with my kids today.

You might expect a museum dedicated solely to the Peanuts characters to be in the US (there is a Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in California), but Tokyo, Japan is the place where the new Snoopy Museum is located and it seems very cool. It has Snoopy statues and different exhibits celebrating all things Charlie Brown and his gang.

The museum will feature tons of rare collectibles, and original and unpublished works from Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz. The café in the museum is appropriately called Café Blanket and serves pancakes with Snoopy and Woodstock burned into them.

The Snoopy Museum opens this weekend, and is expected to remain open for a limited engagement through September 2018.
