Every year for some 40-odd years, we've treated ourselves to " A Charlie Brown Christmas " on CBS television . I've also seen several book versions in Hallmark and Barnes & Noble .

I've collected a few, but I've also lost quite a few over the years. I hope to keep the ones I have for my son to enjoy.
