More Charlie Brown's Christmas Stocking
As it gets to be time for you to hang your stockings by the chimney with care, here's a few more surprises stuffed in the Christmas stocking that is Tulgey Wood. These are some of the concluding pages of Charlie Brown's Christmas Stocking, the charming little booklet written and drawn by Charles M. Schulz for the December 1963 issue of Good Housekeeping. To put it in perspective, Charles Schulz's holiday entry in his "square little book" series for Determined Productions, Christmas is Together Time, was published in 1964 and the animated special A Charlie Brown Christmas debuted on CBS in 1965, so this little stocking-stuffer of a book was Schulz's first true non-strip exploration of the Christmas theme. (For the first few pages of this delightful little booklet, please visit here.)
Thanks for sharing this, Jim! I never heard of it. Merry Christmas!!
