The Charlie Brown Christmas special’s got us in the mood here at MomFinds for some season’s beagles, er, greetings. The comic strip celebrated its 60th anniversary this year, with a look-alike photo contest and its own special Snoopy dance (we imagine anyway). And since we’re still as partial to Peanuts as Linus is to his blanket, we rounded up the best gifts for the family – guaranteed to keep you out of the doghouse.
For the Kids:
Shake up their backseat fun with their own traveling Yahtzee set from USAopoly
Solve the snow day boredom with a Peanuts puzzle made for a boy – or girl – and his dog on a snowy afternoon. Barnes and Noble has the exclusive on these Christmas-themed sets, so pick the size that will fit your kid ($14.95).
Deck the halls with a double deck of playing cards with their favorite friends ($9.95) and let them brush up on their numbers during a rousing game of war. Just don’t play like Lucy.
Just for the Holidays:
Small enough for their bedroom, and it won’t even shed any needles, the little Charlie Brown Christmas tree kit comes with their very own blue blanket for holding tight while Mom or Dad reads the accompanying book ($8.95). Like they really need a reminder that good things come in small packages?
We said we’d keep you out of the doghouse, but we never said anything about keeping you from eating it. From The Wild Baker and Candy Maker, the Snoopy Gingerbread Doghouse puts a Peanuts twist on the a tasty tradition. Heads up mom – the gingerbread is pre-baked, so you can save all your energy for eating the kids’ masterpiece. Check the Wild Baker for stores.
