Before we get into my extremely accurate revelation, I wanted to let you all know (if you were wondering) that the upsetting situation that began Tuesday night has improved somewhat. I still don’t know the outcome for certain, but the news I got today was more on the positive side. Thanks, Santa. I think. And thanks to all of you for being so sweet and kind and supportive. ♥
A Charlie Brown Christmas was on television tonight. And although I have seen it about a million times, I still watch every year… at least once. Tonight during one of my yearly viewings, I realized something. I don’t know how I never caught it before… but the thought took me by surprise. Like… wow, it’s so obvious. How did I never see this before?
Oh my god… I am Charlie Brown.
Just listen to him…
I think there must be something wrong with me, Linus. Christmas is coming, but I’m not happy. I don’t feel the way I’m supposed to feel. I just don’t understand Christmas, I guess. I like getting presents and sending Christmas cards and decorating trees and all that, but I’m still not happy. I always end up feeling depressed.
I almost wish there weren’t a holiday season. I know nobody likes me. Why do we have to have a holiday season to emphasize it?
Lucy: …maybe you have pantophobia. Do you think you have pantophobia?
Charlie Brown: What’s pantophobia?
Lucy: The fear of everything.
Charlie Brown: THAT’S IT!
Everything I do turns into a disaster.
I’ve killed it. Oh! Everything I touch gets ruined.
Damn, that last one… I think that at least five times a day. And that image I found… it’s perfect. Fuck me!
However…
…rest assured that I will not be getting a yellow shirt with a black zigzag stripe around it. I look terrible in yellow.

Hahaha! Most people look bad in yellow, so don’t feel bad. And you don’t like dogs, so there’s that too. Just don’t let your daughter be the holder while you try to kick a football. That may actually confirm this notion. 😃😃

Oh yeah, my daughter would totally pull a Lucy. That’s about right. Oh… I also have a lot more hair than Charlie Brown. 🙂

Me too. I had to tell the kids just in case it turned out that she wouldn’t be home and they were a little sad. Hopefully the weekend/holiday is uneventful…

Hopefully. It’s always hard on kids when a family member is sick or in the hospital, but definitely worse at the holidays. Fingers crossed for uneventful, indeed. 😃😃

My daughter asked me what would happen if grandma wasn’t home for Christmas. I told her that we would reschedule it, of course. She insisted that we could not reschedule Christmas… but I beg to differ! 🙂

We had to do that once ourselves. My grandpa was in the hospital. It just didn’t feel right having it a week or so later, but it would’ve been worse to have it without him.

Yeah. When my dad was sick, he managed to be home for his last Christmas with us. It was kind of a miracle, really, because he had to go back in to the hospital within a week. But he was very very happy to be there for Christmas. 🙂

Aw, I’m happy to hear you got some positive news! When I watched this movie I was a kiddo & I can’t remember Charlie being so sad like that! No wonder I never really understood it–by the quotes you chose, it seems like it had a lot of adult humor that I probably didn’t understand yet.

Thank you! Charlie Brown is pretty sad. I don’t think I realized it when I was younger either.
