Thisic and much-loved Peanuts story centers on the romantic yearnings of that eternally hapless hero, Charlie Brown. As Valentine’s Day approaches, Lucy tries to get Schroeder to give her a card, Sally chases after Linus, and poor Charlie Brown dreams of getting just one valentine. Even Snoopy’s mailbox is stuffed with those red heart-shaped cards–doesn’t ANYONE love Charlie Brown?

BE MY VALENTINE CHARLIE BROWN DE – DVD Movie”Peanuts” creator Charles Schulz retired from the cartoonist’s life early in 2000, and indeed left a few loose strings hanging among his chronically dissatisfied characters. He never did, for instance, cut Charlie Brown much slack in the romance department (or let him kick Lucy’s football, for that matter). Sympathetic readers might have taken note of a story in the press just before Schulz said farewell, in which the inspiration for Charlie Brown’s unrequited love interest–the never-seen, too-distant, “little red-haired girl”–was identified as a woman who turned down a marriage proposal from Schultz a half-century ago. That bit of biographical detail now adds poignancy to Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown, a 1975 television special built upon years of Valentine’s Day “Peanuts” strips. This half-hour show finds Charlie Brown suffering, typically, the ignominy of receiving no hearts-and-flowers greetings while the rest of the gang, including Snoopy, spend their day sorting through piles of love notes. Worse, Schulz’s famous sad sack can’t get up the nerve to approach his unapproachable angel, though there may be–just may be–a glimmer of hope this time around. It may be Valentine’s Day, but not much else is different in the “Peanuts” neighborhood. –Tom Keogh

On the DVD
The 2008 remastered DVD has the two additional specials that were on the previous DVD, You’re in Love, Charlie Brown (1967), in which our hero tries to meet the little red-haired girl, and It’s Your First Kiss, Charlie Brown (1977), a vastly more complex production that has two focuses for CB: win the big football even though Lucy keeps pulling the ball away, and escort–and kiss–the little red-haired girl to the homecoming ball. New for 2008 is a 15-minute featurette on the theme of unrequited love in the “Peanuts” world, with interviews of the Schulz family, Lee Mendelson, and others. –David Horiuchi

Internet Brings Mailed Christmas Cards Back into Fashion, Saves Card Senders Time and Money

Boston, MA (PRWEB) November 28, 2006

For those who thought snail-mailed holiday cards were becoming a thing of Christmas past, internet-based companies such as www.Custom-Christmas-Card.com are now offering to do the Christmas card-mailing grunt work for you.

The technology that drives www.Custom-Christmas-Card.com and other sites like it enables card services to produce one-of-a-kind Christmas cards and all-occasion greeting cards on demand. Card senders can now access a vast collection of high quality card designs right from their home computers, plus opt for added features like being able to customize the inside message, replicate their own handwriting and signature, and manage multiple lists of contact names and addresses. The cards are then printed, addressed, stamped and mailed to the specified list of recipients, all for less than the cost of a traditional greeting card.

According to Wikipedia.org, 1.9 billion greeting cards were sent out in the U.S. in 2005 alone. Although that number is approximately 31% less than what it was two decades ago, it’s still a phenomenal amount of cards… and the declining trend could potentially reverse thanks to internet card services that make it easy and affordable to send bulk mailings of customized cards to family, friends and business associates.

“We found that many people weren’t sending their holiday cards because they didn’t have enough time to hassle with putting together a mailing of 100 or 50 or even 20 cards,” says Benjamin Fitts, founder of Custom-Christmas-Card.com. “We now make it easier than ever to send your cards, because we’ll do all the work for you.”

Recently, Custom-Christmas-Card.com added the ability to upload photos and personalize Christmas cards on the fly. The easy to use technology requires no extra software or downloads. Any digital photo can be uploaded simply by browsing and clicking “upload.” Photos can be customized with talk bubbles, thought balloons, borders, and captions. Customers even get the option of adding multiple photos — to the cover, left and right inside panels of the card.

In addition, www.Custom-Christmas-Card.com has introduced special features for the holiday season such as being able to include gift certificates and personal checks inside the greeting cards before sending.

How affordable are the cards? Benjamin Fitts says, “The average store-bought card runs between and per card. We print your photo Christmas card, stuff the envelope, lick the stamp, and mail it for you for only .88 per card.”

For additional information, contact Benjamin Fitts or visit http://www.Custom-Christmas-Card.com today to request a free gift account so you can try out their custom Christmas cards.

Christmas cards should be planned well in advance and it is worth having all your Christmas card ordering planned by October or November if not earlier so you have plenty of time for the sending process. Start out with a list of all the people you will be sending the Christmas cards to, this will give you an idea of how many Christmas cards you need to order. Shopping online for your Christmas cards is a great way to arrange a special Christmas card.

There is such a range of options to choose from, humorous or funny Christmas cards, religious, modern or contemporary Christmas cards. A great idea is to take note of how you can incorporate this Christmas card giving into support of a charity and you will find that many of the online Christmas card businesses will offer you the facility to support a charity with your Christmas card purchase. Charity Christmas cards benefit not only the receiver but when portions of the funds go to the Charity there is obviously further benefit.

Christmas is a time when people reflect on all of the special friends and family members in their lives and a time to let them know they are thinking of them by sending them a Christmas card. When including charity considerations into your card purchase you are still able to design the cards yourself and create personalised Christmas cards with the messages and greetings you wish to include inside.

Many families have a tradition of exchanging cards that only support charities and instead of purchasing generic Christmas cards they opt for personalised or even humorous Christmas cards. When you purchase from an online supplier make sure that you have the facility to allow you to give back to charities. Sending a Christmas card that supports a charity is a perfect way to support causes you care about this Christmas.

Businesses also make great use of this service in that they can give back. A charity Christmas card can be used as a means of advising what charity the funds will go to as well as spreading Christmas cheer to your valued business associates, employees or suppliers. The actual sending or receiving of the cards can also help spread the word and awareness of the charity itself. Make sure that if you are ordering your business Christmas cards online that the company you purchase from is supporting a charity with a portion of the card costs at the same time.

As a business if you follow this format of giving to charities when designing your business cards you will find that your card recipients respect the fact that you have included charity benefits in the process of your Christmas cards. Not only that but that you have taken the time to include them in your thanks for being in business with you in whatever way over the last year but also that you have included them in offering your best wishes at Christmas. Whatever the position of the recipients to your business the receiving of a Christmas card from you will help in your promotional efforts as they will remember from whom they have received cards.

So when it comes time for you to choose your Christmas cards take into account the possibility to give something back to a charity organisationand ensure that whoever you are purchasing your Christmas cards from are giving back to charity organisations. It is Christmas time after all, the time for giving and if you can give back with a Christmas card purchase to a charitable organisation you are offering benefit to not only those card recipients but the charities themselves.

CardsDirect Inc Reports Record Sales for Christmas Cards, Expects Trend to Continue Throughout Holidays

(PRWEB) September 28, 2005

Plano, Texas (PRWEB) Sept. 27, 2005 Â? The Christmas card industry appears to be experiencing a boom this year, reports CardsDirect Inc, one of the most successful distributors of personalized and customized holiday cards.

Sales are up in both business Christmas cards and personalized Christmas cards, as well as greeting cards in general, said CardsDirect Inc President Ward Mahowald. Related card-making companies contacted by CardsDirect are also reporting increased volume, indicating the entire industry is going to experience an exceptional year.

In part, this is a result of people buying their cards early, said Mahowald, but the trend shows no signs of slowing down. It’s also unlikely an increase of this magnitude (an increase of 115 percent) is entirely the result of people buying corporate holiday cards earlier than normal, he added, although some of that may be happening. CardsDirect has seen its own sales more than double for the months of August and September compared to the same time last year. In 2004, it also experienced a significant increase in sales.

He attributes much of the company’s increase in sales to the exceptional value of personalized Christmas cards compared to retail boxed cards, which allows a customer to easily place an order with their name imprinted in the cards for about the same cost as boxed cards. Sales have also increased dramatically among business owners who like to purchase business Christmas cards in bulk to mail to customers and associates.

In addition to smaller businesses who have already ordered cards from CardsDirect Inc, seven out of 10 companies on the Fortune 100 list — including Microsoft, Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Exxon Mobil Corp., General Motors Inc. and General Electric Co. — have also ordered cards in bulk from CardsDirect in the past.

The distinctive and expressive card designs carried by CardsDirect are designed to deliver a quality image Â? many featuring rich embossing, die cuts, generous foils deckle edges and lined envelopes. The company can personalize the cards by professionally printing the customer’s name or message inside, printing a business logo, printing signatures, and printing a return address on the envelope flap.

Garfield: Holiday Celebrations (Garfield’s Halloween Adventure / Garfield’s Thanksgiving / A Garfield Christmas)

GARFIELD HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS

GARFIELD HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS – DVD MovieNo one loves the cold months better than acerbic fat cat Garfield, who thrives on a bounty of junk food and traditional meals in the delightful collection of musical-comedy TV specials Garfield Holiday Celebrations. “Garfield’s Halloween Adventure” finds the portly hero and airhead-sidekick Odie the dog scrounging through owner Jon’s attic to find perfect costumes, then encountering ghosts and ghoulies that seem a tad authentic. “Garfield’s Thanksgiving” is a screwball special in which Jon harasses veterinarian Liz into being his Turkey Day guest. Trouble is, Jon is clueless about how to cook a big bird; fortunately, starving Garfield has the good sense to call in Jon’s spirited grandmother for a culinary rescue. Grandma shows up, too, in “A Garfield Christmas,” about a family get-together that covers all the nice holiday stuff and, of course, lots of bickering, pouting, and jealousy. As long as Garfield gets his Yuletide lasagna, however, all is right with the world. –Tom Keogh

A Grandpa for Christmas Reviews

A Grandpa for Christmas

For a dear old man on Christmas, the reward is being called Grandpa for the first time in his life. Eighty-year-old Bert Riley is a former movie tough guy living comfortably and surrounded by good friends — all vets from Hollywood’s Golden Age. With a scrapbook full of memories, life has been pretty good to him. But he never expected any more surprises out of it. That’s before he receives

An estranged family discovers that to understand the past, they first have to face it. For a dear old man on Christmas, the reward is being called Grandpa for the first time in his life. Eighty-year-old Bert Riley is a former movie tough guy living comfortably and surrounded by good friends all vets from Hollywood s Golden Age. With a scrapbook full of memories, life has been pretty good to him. But he never expected any more surprises out of it. That s before he receives word on Thanksgiving that Marie, the estranged daughter he hasn t seen in decades, is in the hospital following a car accident. What s more, Becca, the ten-year-old granddaughter he s never even met, is moving in with him!If “To err is human, to forgive divine,” that counts double during the holidays. When her single mother, Marie (Tracy Nelson), is injured in a traffic accident, 10-year-old Becca (Joan of Arcadia‘s Juliette Goglia), is left without a guardian. Due to a rift in the family, she’s never met her grandfather, Bert (Golden Globe nominee Ernest Borgnine), who also lives in Los Angeles. Long divorced from his wife, who has since passed away, Bert is also alone, except for a community of retired actors and agents. When a social worker asks if he can take care of Becca until Marie recovers, he’s happy to try. At first, Becca just wants to sulk, but then she starts to enjoy the company of her grandfather and his friends, like the piano-playing Roxie (Soap‘s Katherine Helmond) and chess-playing Karl (All of Me‘s Richard Libertini). With their encouragement, she participates in her school’s Christmas pageant. With Marie on the mend, things are looking up for Becca, so it comes as a disappointment that her mother can’t see the goodness in Bert, who’s doing his best to make up for lost time. Marie only remembers how hurt she felt when her parents split up and has always blamed Bert, but sees him in a new light when she finds out the whole story. Produced for the Hallmark Channel, A Grandpa for Christmas finds the right balance between realism and wish fulfillment, and the 90-year-old Borgnine gives one of his most enjoyable performances to date. –Kathleen C. Fennessy

CardsDirect Leads the Way for Greeting Cards to be Recycled; Holiday Cards Find a New Home

Plano, TX (PRWEB) April 8, 2008

In December of 2007, CardsDirect, www.cardsdirect.com ,announced a revolutionary program for the paper greeting card industry – the “CardsDirect 2007/2008 Card Recycling and Re-Use Program”. As a leader in the online customized card business, CardsDirect recognized a need to help in recycling cards and to aid in the reuse of Holiday Cards, Christmas Cards, and all other types of bulk cards. Beyond its broadest expectations, the company received such a significant response to the program that it has led to a longer term commitment to continuing the program for future years. The large number of packages that were sent in was evenly split between used Corporate Holiday Cards that required recycling and unused cards ranging from Thank You Cards, Get Well Cards, and Happy Birthday Cards to Bulk Christmas Cards and Holiday Cards that can be redistributed to organizations in need of cards for communications.

“CardsDirect remains committed to wisely managing the use of paper as it relates to greeting cards” said Kevin Strawbridge, VP of Marketing at CardsDirect. “It was pleasure to receive the packages, sort through them and find reusable cards for the organizations that often call requesting them, and recycling the rest so that the resource can be renewed.”

To complete the loop on the paper recycling process, CardsDirect is exploring the ability to deliver a full line of Recycled Holiday Cards and recycled Christmas Cards for the 2008 season. By adding this product to its line, CardsDirect stands ready to create a healthy cycle of paper use – the recycling and reuse of already printed cards and using recycled paper for newly printed cards.

For both cards you have the final word when it comes to the choice of ink colour to be used. Regardless of whether you need photo Christmas cards or custom Christmas cards to be made for you, the manufacturer should be capable of agreeing to convenient shipping times, say between 4 and 7 days at most.

Having selected your online Christmas cards, you just need to click your way to the provided online studio to begin making your custom Christmas cards. The process requires you to choose a Christmas card template to which you then add seasonal greetings texts and other graphics as required. For the graphics you can opt to use designs and free stock images from the service’s usually extensive collection or you can upload your own. including logos and photographs. Similarly, if you have already designed your Christmas cards, it should be possible to upload the design and pay a lower rate for the full-colour printing work.

Caricature Christmas greeting cards will definitely add smiles and fun to the holiday cheer given that the recipient(s) will be depicted in a truly comical way. For a more distinctive look you can opt for foil-accented Christmas cards; these are quite distinct on account of their shine and sparkle. Photo Christmas cards can be used to achieve that extra personal touch as in their design you can use previous Christmas family photos.

Whatever your preference of card, the end product should be printed on a high quality card stock and it will be really great if you can be provided with matching envelopes for each Christmas card. You can opt to go with folded cards of various dimensions or alternatively you may prefer the flat cards variety. The postcard design of Christmas card is also a viable option to consider.

The Original Christmas Classics (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer/Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town/Frosty the Snowman/Frosty Returns/Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol/Little Drummer Boy/Cricket on the Hearth)

ORIGINAL CHRISTMAS CLASSICS GIFT SET 07 (DVD MOVIE)

Includes 7 Holiday Favorites:

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Who’s got a nose for Christmas? Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer! Just in time for the holidays, here comes Rudolph in the most beloved special of all time! Packed with a sleigh full of memorable songs and unforgettable characters, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer lights up the hearts of young and old alike.
Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town
Where does Santa’s suit come from? Why does he slide down the chimney? Why does he live at the North Pole? The answers to all these questions and the origins of our favorite holiday traditions are revealed in this delightful classic about Kris Kringle, the world’s most famous gift giver.

Frosty the Snowman
Look at Frosty Go! What’s become a bigger holiday tradition than building a snowman? Watching the original Christmas classic, Frosty the Snowman! Grab your scarf, bundle up, and get ready for the incredible adventure of a magical snowman who’s got enough personality to win over the whole family. You can’t go wrong with Frosty!

Frosty Returns

Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol
Bah Humbug, Mr. Magoo! In this first-ever animated holiday TV special, the bumbling and loveable Mr. Magoo is Ebeneezer Scrooge in a hilarious and heartwarming musical retelling of Charles Dickens’ classic, “A Christmas Carol”.

The Little Drummer Boy
This story has touched the hearts of families everywhere. In this holiday classic, the true spirit of Christmas is revealed when a lonely orphan stumbles upon the birth of the baby Jesus and affirms what the holidays are really about – giving and love. Featuring a beautiful soundtrack by the Vienna Boys’ Choir, this timeless tale of generosity makes the perfect addition to your holiday collection.

Cricket on the Hearth
A delightful, animated musical version of Charles Dickens’ classic tale, Cricket on the Hearth, tells the story of a poor toymaker and his daughter whom a helpful Cricket named Crocket befriends on Christmas morning. When tragedy strikes the family, it’s Crocket who comes to the rescue and restores peace and happiness.Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer:
This classic 1964 television special featuring Rudolph and his misfit buddies set the standard for stop-motion animation for an entire generation before Tim Burton darkly reinvented it in the early 1990s. Burl Ives narrates as Sam the Snowman, telling and singing the story of a rejected reindeer who overcomes prejudice and saves Christmas one particularly blustery year. Along the way, he meets an abundance of unforgettable characters: his dentally obsessed elf pal Hermey; the affable miner Yukon Cornelius and his motley crew of puppies; the scary/adorable Abominable Snow Monster; a legion of abandoned, but still chatty, toys; and a rather grouchy Santa. In addition to the title song that inspired it, this 53-minute tape is crammed with catchy tunes such as “Silver and Gold” and “Holly Jolly Christmas.” Those who grew up looking forward to watching Rudolph every Christmas season will undoubtedly be able to recite the quotable quotes (“I’m cuuuute. She said I’m cuuuute.” “Herbie doesn’t like to make toys.”) as well as any Casablanca cult audience. –Kimberly Heinrichs

Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town:
This 53-minute, 1970 animated film may be the most delightful of those sundry, stop-motion animated Christmas perennials that show up on television during the holidays. The clay animation production, boasting a wonderful musical score and art direction that occasionally underscores the flower-power era in which it was born, tells the story of Santa’s origins, in which Kris Kringle decides to get toys into the hands of poor children in gloomy Sombertown. Charmingly narrated by Fred Astaire and featuring voices by Mickey Rooney and Keenan Wynn, Santa Claus Is Coming to Town presents a nice bridge between two generations of entertainment, the classic and the hip. –Tom Keogh

Frosty the Snowman:
Jimmy Durante narrates this Christmas story that is based on the song of the same name. To make up for the fact that her students are in school on Christmas Eve, the local schoolteacher hires the magician Professor Hinkle to entertain the kids. Unfortunately, he’s not a very good magician. Frustrated in his attempt to pull a rabbit out of his hat, he throws it away in anger. Outside, the kids build a snowman (what to call it? Harold? Oatmeal? Frosty!), and when the hat blows onto it–Happy Birthday!–it comes to life. Professor Hinkle decides he wants the hat back so he can make money off of its newfound magical properties, but the kids want to save Frosty. When the temperature starts to rise, a new problem threatens Frosty’s existence. Karen, the leader of the children, comes up with a plan to save him: take him on a train to the North Pole, where it’s always cold. With a cameo by Santa Claus, and the promise of Frosty’s return every year, this story of life, death, and holiday cheer is glazed with the sweet frosting of hope and happiness. A true holiday classic. –Andy Spletzer

Frosty Returns:
n the same way that many a Hollywood sequel has little to do with the first film, Frosty Returns has almost nothing in common with the original Frosty the Snowman, aside from a man made of snow. The biggest difference is that this Frosty doesn’t need a magic hat to come to life. The story: In the town of Beansboro, old Mr. Twitchell has invented an aerosol spray that can remove snow without the hassle of shoveling or plows. This frightens Frosty, who enlists the help of amateur magician Holly and her friend Charles to stop the old coot. Made in 1992, Frosty Returns has an animation style that looks like a cross between the old Schoolhouse Rock and Peanuts cartoons, with voice talent that includes Jonathan Winters, Andrea Martin, Jan Hooks, Brian Doyle-Murray, and John Goodman as Frosty. The story may be divisive, pitting children against adults and a pro-snow contingent against anti-snow people, but the songs are catchy and the message is one that ultimately empowers kids. Like a hero from an old Western, this Frosty is a wanderer who leaves when his job is done so he can work his magic elsewhere. –Andy Spletzer

Mr. Magoo’s Christmas Carol:

This 1962 special marked the last hurrah of Mr. Magoo, who starred in 43 cartoon shorts, including two Oscar® winners, from the UPA Studio between 1949 and 1959. Magoo appears as Scrooge in a Broadway production of “A Christmas Carol” in this minimally animated hour. The play-within-the-show features forgettable songs by Jules Styne and Bob Merrill: Tiny Tim (“played” by the animated character Gerald McBoing-Boing) sings, oddly, of “razzle berry dressing” and “woofle jelly cake.” This retelling of Dickens’s holiday standard is much tamer than Richard Williams’s Oscar-winning adaptation: the ghosts aren’t scary, nor does Magoo confront the specters of Ignorance and Want. Small children who might be frightened by more dramatic versions of the story will enjoy this mild program. And the self-satisfied chuckles and bromides Jim Backus gives Magoo in his lighter moments remain as delightful as ever. This film is suitable for ages 6 and older. –Charles Solomon

Little Drummer Boy:
The model animation techniques in this 1968 Rankin and Bass TV chestnut are primitive by today’s standards, and picky kids may reject them out of hand. The story, however, which elaborates on the popular Christmas song about a shepherd boy who plays his drum for the baby Jesus and makes the animals dance, is a little more tough-minded than you might expect. The kid begins the story as what we’d now call a neglected child, a surly urchin who says he hates all people. He’s pulled back from the brink, first by learning to make music, and then by his encounter with the Christ child. The underlying message alone–that everybody has something worth contributing–qualifies the show for holiday-perennial status. The big-name voice performers, Jose Ferrer and Greer Garson (who narrates), may be a little too ponderous for the occasion, but the familiar cartoony tones of Paul Frees (aka Boris Badenov) and June Forey (aka Rocket J. Squirrel) help liven up the proceedings. It’s only 23 minutes long, so it’s worth a shot for younger children. –David Chute
