1. If you invite yourself to someone's house for dinner, make sure that they can cook. Peppermint Patty invites herself to Charlie Brown's house for Thanksgiving dinner assuming he can cook more than toast. He can't. Beware your dinner may end up as popcorn and toast.

2.  A liar will lie to you all year round. When Lucy tries to convince Charlie Brown to kick the football and then he lands on his face she uses Thanksgiving traditions as the reason that she won't full the ball away. Of course, she lied. That's what liars do whether it's Thanksgiving or not.

3. Some women do go for the smart guys. As Linus explains the meaning of Thanksgiving to Sally her heart is all a flutter. She gushes to Charlie Brown about how smart he is. Sally is no different from many women who despite certain stereo types loves a smart man.

4. Your sibling will tell you the truth. When Charlie Brown wonders how he got into the position of having to cook for three univitited Thanksgiving dinner guests his sister lets him know. Sally tells him he brought it on himself because he is too wishy-washy. When other people will skirt around your problems and faults it's your siblings who tell the truth.

5. Sometimes women really do talk too much. Studies prove that word for word women do talk more than men. But really, you don't need to do research to find this out. When Linus asks Charlie Brown why he just doesn't tell Peppermint Patty  that he has other dinner plans, good old Chuck sums it up this way, "You can't explain anything to her because you never get to say anything."

6. A good friend will always tell  you when you're being a jerk. When Peppermint Patty complains about Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving dinner Marcie reminds her that it wasn't his fault. After all Peppermint Patty did invite herself. We all need friends who will tell us when we're acting obnoxious.

7. Grandparents always save the day. Charlie Brown and his guest are invited to Grandma's house for a great dinner. Thank goodness for grandparents.
