The holiday season is a big deal in the Peanuts universe. Sure, there’s “A Charlie Brown Christmas” and that’s great, BUT did you know that in the 1960s, Charles Schulz drew not one but TWO original Christmas stories – “Charlie Brown’s Christmas Stocking” and “The Christmas Story” which appeared in the December 1963 “Good Housekeeping Magazine” and December 1968 “Woman’s Day Magazine” respectively? Me neither!

In 148, we take a look at those stories and, of course, the magazines they appeared in. We also have a Random Strip of the Month, This Month in Peanuts History, the latest news, and a look at another episode of “Snoopy in Space”.

This Christmas stocking of a podcast episode is nearly bursting at the seams. Enjoy!
