I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown Page #5

As your big sister,

I feel that it is my duty to tell you...

...that who you are about to see

is not the real Santa Claus.

I don't care who he is as long as

he can give me a dog for Christmas.

What you're looking at

is a dog in a Santa Claus suit.

Now that I've told you,

how does it make you feel?

I like him.

Santa, all I want for Christmas

is a puppy dog.

What does he want?

I think he wants a contribution

to his box there.

[SNOOPY MUMBLING]

What did he say?

He said, "Thank you,

the money is for a worthy cause."

And "Merry Christmas."

And "Say hello to the stupid kid

with the blanket and his crabby sister."

Just forget it.

Mom will never let you have a dog, anyway.

Everybody in the world has a dog.

Why can't I have a dog?

You wouldn't know

how to take care of a dog.

You wouldn't even know how to feed it.

Dogs like cold cereal.

I don't know

if I can count on Santa for a dog.

If I eat all my dinner,

can I have a dog for Christmas?

[WOMAN MUMBLES]

Everybody in the world has a dog.

Why won't Mom let me have one?

A lot of people in the world

don't have dogs.

They can be a lot of trouble.

What I think I'll do today...

...is take some money out of my

college trust fund and go buy a dog.

You don't have a college trust fund.

I don't? Good grief.

- Please pass the grape jelly.

- We're all out of grape jelly.

How could anyone not have a dog

or a trust fund or grape jelly?

If you don't think dogs

are a lot of trouble...

...just ask Charlie Brown

about his stupid dog.

My mom and sister say

that dogs are a lot of trouble.

Owning a dog

is a big responsibility, ReRun.

They need lots of care.

And they need a lot of comforting.

Maybe if I watch you and Snoopy,

I'll know how to take care of a dog...

...if I get one from Santa.

How can you tell

which boot goes on which foot?

I hate zippers.

Oh, how I hate zippers and mittens.

How can you tell where the thumbs go?

I wasn't made for winter.

[ENGINE WHIRRING]

What's going on here?

I'm going Christmas shopping.

This was the cheapest ticket I could get.

- What's happening, Charlie Brown?

- I haven't the slightest idea.

What kind of an airplane is this?

Where's the complimentary orange juice?

And isn't anyone

going to welcome me aboard?

Blech!

I'd rather have the orange juice.

It's been a smooth flight so far, hasn't it?

Almost like we're not flying at all.

Stupid pilot.

What happens

if there's a loss of cabin pressure?

Where are the oxygen masks

in case there's an emergency?

Hey, I thought that passengers

were always served a nice lunch.

What happens

when we get to the ocean?

Do you have special equipment

for flying over water?
