Yay! That special is on tonite! (remember when this shows used to actually be special?) And since I’m a pre-school teacher, I’m giving Snoopy valentines to my class today. Happy V day, David!
I do remember when they were special and we were excited to watch. I’m a huge Peanuts fan. Collected books since I was about 5.
Happy Valentine’s Day to you too!
