The good times begin with a certain big-nosed beagle playing Cupid and does not stop until Charlie Brown opens his mailbox one last, eager time. Homemade Valentine's, class parties, the tug of romance and the allure of chocolate set the mood for these school children.

Charlie Brown decides to send Snoopy back to his puppy farm for obedience training, but Snoopy is less than enthusiastic. He goes as far as Peppermint Patty's place, who agrees to let him stay for the night. He overstays his welcome as a freeloader and Charlie Brown drags him back home.

"Turkey, cranberries, pumpkin pie...and the Peanuts gang to share them with. This is going to be the greatest Thanksgiving ever! The fun begins when Peppermint Patty invites herself and her pals to Charlie Brown's house for a really big turkey party. ... All our hero can cook is cold cereal and maybe toast. Is Charlie Brown doomed? Not when Linus, Snoopy and Woodstock chip in to save the (Thanksgiving) Day."-- Container.
