Happy Halloween! I remember watching the Charlie Brown Halloween special as a kid. It is a great holiday institution in our family and a wonderful memory of a simpler time.

These days my daughters trick-or-treat at a few friends houses and we have a special dinner together. There is not the care-free candy binge of my childhood due to the changing nature of the society we live in. But at least we still have It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!
