“Can I have an extra piece of candy for my stupid brother? He couldn’t come with us because he’s sitting in a pumpkin patch waiting for the Great Pumpkin.”
The Great Pumpkin is a Halloween tradition. This beloved Peanuts classic has evolved into a seasonal favorite as families across the country tune in to watch Charlie Brown and company participate in “tricks or treats.” Is this the year Charlie Brown receives candy instead of rocks? Probably not. Will the Great Pumpkin finally visit the most sincere pumpkin patch in town and vindicate Linus’ unwavering faith? Doubtful. But hey, you never know. That’s the magic of the Great Pumpkin.
