Hallmark was one of the first major Peanuts merchandisers (they remain a licensee today) and they have done some wonderful cards, ornaments and other items, especially from the mid-1960s through the 70s. In 1968 Hallmark released this artful Linus and Snoopy centerpiece as part of their party goods line, showcasing the Great Pumpkin phenomenon. ABC is broadcasting It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown tonight, October 30, and you can of course rent the DVD from Netflix or your neighborhood video shop, or you can buy it

I watched some of this last night before I fell asleep. I can't remember ever seeing the whole thing!
