Happy New Year, Charlie Brown!

Release: January 01, 1986

Charlie Brown has a problem: He has to write a book report over the Christmas holidays which is due on the first day back. There is one major distraction on his mind and that is the big new year's party all of his friends are attending. He tries inviting the object of his desires, The Little Red-Haired Girl, but gets his hand caught in the mail slot. When the night of the party arrives he gets beaten by Peppermint Patty at Musical Chairs causing him to leave the party while everyone else welcomes in the new year. In the end he finishes his book report but gets only a D- with his teacher claiming it was written on the last night of Christmas Vacation.

Peppermint Patty: "Hey Chuck, that was a sly move on your part. You know, to get us out here alone on New Year's Eve."

Charlie Brown: "Huh?"

Peppermint Patty: "Yep. We might even end up ushering in the new year together. I'll bet you'd like that, Eh, Chuck?"

Charlie Brown: "Hello? Hello? Heather, are you home? I've come to invite you to a New Year's party! I mean - I mean if you don't have anything else to do. Would you - would you like to come? I can either pick you up or, or meet you there, if I ever get my hand out of this mailbox. I can't stand it. I just can't stand it."

Peppermint Patty: "It's been a great year, Chuck. You'll have to admit that. What you do think, Chuck, would be good rules for living in the new year?"

Charlie Brown: " Keep the ball low, don't leave your crayons in the sun, use dental floss every day, don't spill the shoe polish, always knock before entering, don't let the ants get in the sugar, never volunteer to be a program chairman, always get your first serve in, and feed your dog whenever he's hungry."

Peppermint Patty: "Will those rules give me a better life, Chuck?"

Charlie Brown: "The better life, and a fat dog."

Charlie Brown: "Tomorrow night's party. The Little Red-Haired Girl never answered my letter. What a way to start a new year. Tomorrow night, millions of people will be going to parties and dressing up. Some are even ready a day ahead of time."

Charlie Brown: "Well, here I am reading "War and Peace", and everybody else is at dance class having fun. Maybe I should go over to the class and just look in, and see what they're all doing."
