Two slices of toast, a handful of jellybeans, some pretzels … not quite what comes to mind when you think of Thanksgiving dinner? It's not what Peppermint Patty imagines either, but that's what she gets when she invites herself over to Charlie Brown's house for a turkey-day feast. After chastising "Chuck" for providing such a meager meal, she ends up eating more than her words and gains a few pounds of emotional sustenance. She also learns a little bit about the true meaning of the holiday. And you will too. Invite yourself to Charlie Brown's for dinner this Thanksgiving with "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving."
