Snoopy ~ Charlie Brown ~ Lucy Playing Football in the Snow on Christmas Day

Snoopy lays upon his dog house watching, waiting, and laughing so hard that he almost falls off the house. I think Snoopy is wonderful. He stays back sometimes and just watches life unfold
Charlie Brown is Charlie Brown, he is full of being Charlie Brown. He thinks, too much.
Lucy is like Snoopy, a little bit, only she is inner-active with the characters and places which are a part of her life. Really, she is spontaneous in her actions.
OK, so here is Snoopy laying on his house watching Charlie Brown and Lucy trying to play football in the snow. At least the ball is brown so Charlie Brown can see it. Lucy scrunches down in the snow and puts her fingertip on the ball while Charlie Brown runs backward to get a good head start for kicking the ball through the made-up goal posts. And here he comes, ready, set, kick! He misses because Lucy jerked the ball away.
She tells Charlie Brown as he picks himself up off of the snow, crying his eyes out because he hit his head, that she is sorry and she promises she won't do it again. Charley Brown runs backward, again, to get another good start. Just as he lifts his leg back to kick the ball, Lucy jerks it away, again! So, she promises, once again. Charlie Brown backs up for a running start, again and again. She jerks the ball, again and again.
All the while Snoopy is laughing and laughing and thinking to himself how interesting it is that they keep doing this and wondering what is wrong with Charlie Brown.
So, the moral of this story is. . .
One little boy who on Christmas Day opened all of his presents. He got a train set. It did not work. He received a hat. It was too small. He opened a package that came on Christmas Eve from his aunt. It was a Boy Scout flashlight. The bulb was broken. He opened a package from his little sister that she wrapped all by herself. It was a bag full of marbles. He yelled and laughed when he said, "Well, at least these work!"

My sis sent me a beautiful long sweater coat with the tag still in it. I love this. I sent it to her from LaDeDa for her birthday?

Christmas is filled with stories like these. It is all good.

I keep waiting for the phone to ring. . .the football.

Merry Christmas Everyone in my life! I love you all!

The beautiful long sweater was a gift from you and I love it. Everytime I put it on my husband said, "that is not you, it is Bobbie." So, back in the closet it would go. This was not a re-gift, it was a gift of love and I know you will enjoy it because it is YOU! Besides, it will look great with your purple magnolia bag.
Merry Christmas,
Your little sister,
Shirley
