Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 15, 2020

way to think things through, Sally

She’s been watching that Coke ad too often, maybe.

I can,t belive you already commented!

She probably heard the Jackson 5’s version of “Up On The Housetop,” which has Michael wishing peace and joy for everyone.

You want me to arrange for everyone to have peace, joy, and love? Sounds like a lot of trouble. Couldn’t I just get you a doll?

Time for Sally to go and have a talk with “Dr.” Lucy, (be sure to bring a nickle).

Perhaps this insincerity causes the Great Pumpkin never showing up

You knew the material girl would eventually show up…

Sounds like it, Sally!

All she wants is her fair share.

Good point Charlie Brown. Are ppl really sincere when they ask for those three things?

Christmas can do that to you.

Santa delivers toys, not miracles, Sally.

I hardly asked for anything this year. That’s how 2020 has been.

I flipped years ago.

Finally?

One of Sally’s rare, pants wearing days.

I knew she’d come around.

Early in my marriage I fell for that “Let’s not get each other anything for Christmas this year ploy.” I was dumb, gullible, young and in so much trouble on Christmas Day.

Be a believer.

The writers flipped, We have no script, why bother to rehearse.

Happy Beethoven’s Birthday (It might be tomorrow instead, there is confusion as to the correct date).

I SO want those things, too; Sally.

She’s been locked up with CB for close to a year.

I just want things to go back to normal. I want COVID to go away; I want to be able to see my friends and most of all I want to give my friends HUGS.

Sincerity is important, if you can fake that you’ve got it made.
