~"The Great Pumpkin is a holiday figure (comparable to Santa or the Easter Bunny) that seems to exist only in the imagination of Linus van Pelt. Every year, Linus sits in a pumpkin patch (apparently the same one every year, though one year he and Snoopy were caught on a privately owned pumpkin patch, and perceived by the owner's daughter as crazy) on Halloween night waiting for the Great Pumpkin to appear. Invariably, the Great Pumpkin fails to appear, and a humiliated but undefeated Linus vows to wait for him again the following Halloween. This premise was reworked by Schulz many times throughout the run of the Peanuts strip, and also forms the basis for the 1966 animated television special It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. The TV special was the source of the most famous quote regarding Linus and the Great Pumpkin: "There are three things I have learned never to discuss with people: religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin."~ (Wikipedia)
I am ready.
I am waiting.....
The Great Pumpkin is coming!
Love you.
