Kick Off the Holiday Season with PEANUTS!

I love Peanuts year-round, of course (who doesn’t!)—but when October rolls around, I get especially excited, because we’re officially kicking off PEANUTS HOLIDAY SEASON!  There’s nothing better than Halloween with Linus and the Great Pumpkin, Thanksgiving with Charlie Brown’s disastrous dinner, and of course, the classic Charlie Brown Christmas.

To get the mood going, I recently got an amazing package of Peanuts holiday goodies from Oriental Trading Company, which offers a variety of ways to bring the spirit of Peanuts into Halloween and Thanksgiving festivities:

• Colorfully decorated laminated bags—perfect for trick-or-treating
• Halloween crayons and a sign craft kit—fun for creating spooky decorations
• Finger puppets with the characters in their Halloween costumes—adorable party favors
• Halloween and Thanksgiving plates, napkins, cups, popcorn boxes—for hosting the greatest Peanuts-themed parties and dinners ever!

I especially love their easy-to-use craft kits.  Everything you need is included, and they even give you some extra pieces in case something gets misplaced along the way.  The foam shapes are peel and stick, so you don’t have to worry about dealing with messy glue.  Making your home more festive for fall is virtually effortless, and it’s great fun for the kids!

Prices range from $2.20 to $21.99, and the items are available at orientaltrading.com.  The happy memories will last all the way until next year’s holiday season!
