I have a feeling she would have been PO’d, had she seen her letter to Santa in shorthand—knowing Lucy, she would have had her doubts about Santa understanding shorthand. Also, Lucy, correction—Linus will see that your letter to Santa goes out TOMORROW, being that this was a Sunday, of course.

Anybody know shorthand? Are those real shorthand markings and do they say what they are supposed to? Schulz was always meticulous about using real sheet music to denote what Schroeder was playing. So it wouldn’t surprise me if he went to the trouble to get this right as well.
