My Charlie Brown Christmas..... display.

Sparky · 12/15/2008, 11:05 PM

Thats right, i have the whole crew on my front lawn!!! This was last years shot.

These little guys are printed on Vynl and stand a little higher than your knee, they were cut out and then glued onto plywood and then with a few cedar stacks...tadaaaaaaaaaaaaa... my front yard is ready for xmas & if you listen really close you can just make out the Charlie Brown Christmas Music

This year i had some repair work to be done... The day before i took them down last year a few little drunken pricks stole Pepperment Patty and Snoopy and had there way with them, and managed to dragged off the doghouse as well , leaving the string of lights laying in the snow... But no worries i found out who it was

and got it all back, but snoopy in the end did not survive!!!

Anyway just thought i would share.

Sparks that is so cool! Do you have the hi-res photos to have these made? What does it look like at night?

yes i do, i found them all when i had to go back and get snoopy reprinted, and my printers were kind enough to print me a second copy of the snoop-dogy-dog

Also at night it looks great, the tree is lit and i have 2 white flood lights on the crew

Wow. That's really cool. Very large and visible but not tacky in the pink aluminum tree sort of way that the TV special poked fun of so well. Very good.

...these don't look like period correct (circa 1965) designs though...had to say it...sorry...

Dang!!! Sparks!!! That's awesome!!

When I first saw the picture I thought it was a photoshop rendering or something. hehe. Astounding!

That is so cool! They look real too, like they were transported from their cartoon universe into ours!

Turbo D · 12/16/2008, 03:09 AM

Oh they look correct. They look fantastic! They just look 30 years newer than the designs used in the TV special. This is really only something a Peanuts obsessed nerd like me would notice though.

tanks

Have been doing this for about 5-7 years now and i added a new charactor every year, I want to add Schroeder still but the poor little bastard will be the first to get buried in a heavy snow!!!

termis · 12/16/2008, 09:15 AM

That's pretty cool dude.

My wife (from Cowtown, Alberta) is complaining ab00t not having any snow for the holiday season this time around.

Hell, I'm all okay with that.

Nazi NecroPhile · 12/16/2008, 11:41 AM

Nice! That's pretty classy and far better than a lot of the train wrecks in my 'hood (some of 'em look like a 12 year old girl's myspace page puked on their house).

P.S. - Is that your little urchin in the window?

Hahahaaaaaa...
not as good as that one Woody but a SNL Charlie Brown Xmas parody that brought me a few chuckles

Ceti Alpha · 12/23/2008, 06:06 PM

I've been showing Sparky's Charlie Brown set up to everybody. They all love it.

Oh, and Sparks, looks like Harper just appointed Jabba teh Hutt...I mean...Mike Duffy to the Senate. lol

Harper's sleeziness and douchbaggery never fails to amaze me.

At least CTV will have some representation in the Senate.

wait, what? can he do that while parliament is prorogued?
