Patrick Donohue is the proudest Indiana native you're likely to find. Seriously. No one is prouder to be from a state that so many people know relatively so little about than he is. Patrick is a native of Terre Haute and a graduate of the Ernie Pyle School of Journalism at Indiana University. Knowing this, you might think he’d be a huge John "Cougar" Mellencamp fan, a man considered by some to be the Hoosier State's poet laureate. But you'd be wrong. In a major way. | I hope you didn't miss it.
Yes, it may still be November but ABC aired "A Charlie Brown Christmas" last night. Because of how early classics like Charlie Brown and that great Rankin-Bass "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" air each year, I've taken to of seeing think of them not as something you watch because you're already in the holiday spirit but instead something you see on television and know that the season has started.
In honor of "A Charlie Brown Christmas," today's song is "Christmas Time is Here" from Vince Guaraldi Trio's classic soundtrack to the Peanuts holiday cartoon.
