We kids always made wish-lists at Christmas, and mom paid just as much attention to them as CB does here. She had a genius for getting just exactly what you didn’t want, and then acting all hurt if you didn’t go crazy over it. This continued after we were all grown and married.
A great gift for all of us to give each other would be a bit more kindness and civility every day. A toast to the good health and happiness of all who love to revisit Peanuts every day.
Yes, it is the thought that counts. Kids dream about receiving extravagant gifts. I doubt Violet would expect anything from him, but she gave an honest answer to Charlie Brown’s question. He asked ‘what would you like?’ not ‘what would you like from me?’

Charlie Brown doesn’t have that kind of allowance, Violet (how much did jumping ropes cost back then?)

We practically have to twist our daughters’ arms to get Christmas lists. This year, it’s just a couple of books and CDs.

Charlie Brown was nice to listen to her list. He knew what he was going to get her anyway, so he was just being polite.
