Last year when I was asked to be a Peanuts Ambassador I was so excited and honored. I have been a Snoopy fan since I was a little child. I can’t remember the Peanuts gang NOT being in my life in some way, shape or fashion. These characters hold a very special place in my heart, one that evokes memories that run deep.
Some of my very first memories of Peanuts are of my sister and I watching the TV specials in our living room, in our PJ’s while my parents sat with us and watched.
As a family, we laughed at the cartoon and loved being together. Little did we know then that we were creating memories that would last a lifetime for all of us.
My parents have both passed on but that memory that pops up when I see Snoopy or Charlie Brown is still fresh. I cherish it and love that it takes me right back to when I was safe and secure in my pj’s watching my favorite characters with my Parents and sister.
Another memory I have is of my Dad reading the Sunday comics to me, and of course Peanuts would be the top of the list. I think my Dad laughed at the strip more than I did!
When I grew up and met my husband, I found out that he was also a huge Peanuts fan with very similar memories to my own. I asked my husband to tell you what Snoopy memories he holds dear and he replied:
“When I was a young boy, every Sunday morning my Dad and I had a routine. We’d eat breakfast together, play a couple of board games and then we would read the Sunday funnies together. We always saved the Peanuts for last and I looked forward to this every week. My favorite cartoons were the ones that featured Snoopy because, they could be about him and Woodstock. or Snoopy in his Sopwith Camel fighting the Red Baron or in a little café in France lamenting his fallen comrades.”With Snoopy you just never knew what he was going to get into.
We have two boys who we’ve also raised on Snoopy and the Peanuts gang, they love them as much as we do and hope one day they will pass on the love to their children.
See The Peanuts Movie this November in theaters and create some memories with your family!
