Trivia

This special is one of many that Violet and Patty are reduced to silent cameos. These two characters(among others like Shermy, Pig Pen and Frieda) were prominent in the earlier specials, such as Great Pumpkin and Charlie Brown Christmas, but were phased out with the introduction of Peppermint Patty and Marcie.

Goofs

During the musical chairs segment, we see Pig Pen standing behind a chair toward the end of the game, when Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty are left. Pig Pen never was playing the game in the first place. See more »

Quotes

Charlie Brown: [voiceover] Oh boy, only one more minute till Christmas vacation starts, and the teacher hasn't given us any assignments over the holidays.
[we hear warbling, which is really Miss Othmar; Charlie Brown now groans]
Charlie Brown: Oh, no!

Dust jacket
31 October 2003 | by (Kentucky) – See all my reviews

"No book report has ever been finished by just reading the dust jacket."

The history of Charlie Brown is a timeline of things that happened while he was looking the other way. Everyone has that story of how they left the ballgame early and missed the greatest play in sports history. Poor Charlie Brown lives every day like that. You can keep your Willie Loma and John Procter. The greatest tragic hero in American literature is a boy named Charlie Brown.

This is a very good special, and it includes the famous "Pig-Pen" Hoedown scene.
