Do You Believe in the Great Pumpkin?

Have you ever seen the Peanuts television show where Linus believes in the Great Pumpkin?

Linus’s belief in the Great Pumpkin is made fun of. He receives nonstop ridicule, in fact.

Despite the ridicule, Linus is sure that the Great Pumpkin will rise out of the pumpkin patch and bring gifts to the good boys and girls of the world.

He and Charlie Brown's little sister, Sally, don't go trick-or-treating. Instead they wait for the divine appearance of the Great Pumpkin.

When the Great Pumpkin doesn't come, Sally is furious. She missed out on a good night of parties and candy.

Sally abandons Linus and joins the "non-believers." Linus tells Sally that if the Great Pumpkin comes, he will put in a good word for her.

I realized today that the Great Pumpkin is the "messiah" of Linus’s Halloween!

Do you believe in the "Great Pumpkin?"
