Here's a question to ponder with your second cup of coffee; most of us know a lot of pumpkins get grown in the United States, with the majority being sold from roughly Halloween to Thanksgiving. But how much pumpkin is grown in the US each year, in pounds?
‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ might be the best-known Peanuts television special, but the gang’s Halloween special also cemented its place in television history. Sure there wouldn’t be a Halloween cartoon without the holiday one, but there wouldn’t be a Peanuts gang on television for more than 40 years without ‘The Great Pumpkin.’
