    Hopefully something from the Bunny-wunny series will be acceptable.

    If not, perhaps Snoopy’s “Dark and Stormy Night” manuscript?

    Why do they make kids do book reports over Xmas vacation?

    Just watch “A Tale of Two Cities” when it comes on TV, Peppermint Patty. Just ignore the bits about the shampoo, coffee, etc. as those aren’t part of the movie.

    And they only get about 2 weeks off. Here in Europe it’s often 3. Our “Christmas break” starts on 22 Dec and school doesn’t start again till 7 Jan.

    No wonder she doesn’t do well in school. I loved reading at that age.

    You make that sound like a bad thing! Reading is wonderful if you can choose the book. It’s when they choose it for you and it’s some boring thing, that’s when it’s a problem.

    Charlie Brown had to read War And Peace, and then Crime And Punishment during the holiday season.

    My brother was on the high school swim team. Everyone on the team was overweight, and the coach told everyone to lose weight over Christmas break. My brother was the only one who actually lost weight over the holidays.

    Not for you.

    Remember, kids: reading is for losers. Play more video games.

    The strip is from the pre-tablet and smartphone age, and is more timely now than it was when it was published.

    I got Kurt Vonnegut Jr.‘s "Cat’s Cradle" for Christmas one year. I read that in two days. Just a suggestion, Patty.

    Giving homework over holidays, what a way to ruin the holidays. One of my son’s teachers always gave a homework assignment over the holidays. I was very glad when the school year was over and the holiday homework assignments were over and done with.

    Wow, that’s rough. In my day, the days before Xmas break were full of Xmas preparation and the last one of joy and partying. Of course we didn’t have any Patty’s in our class.

    Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol by Tom Mula. Quick read. Read it in bed the other day, about an hour. A great story from a different viewpoint!!

    3rd Grade. For the Christmas break I checked out and read the Spirit of St Louis. That was the book the librarian called my mom and asked about the books I was checking out. Mom told her if I wanted to read it, let him!

    Patty should find a short book about a sports player she likes. Then she’d discover reading can be very enjoyable. I love to read. Always have.

    If parents would read to their kids from early on and keep it up, they wouldn’t have children like Patty who damage their lives by hating books.

    Just read “The Grinch that Stole Christmas” or “A Christmas Carol”. Both would take less than 45 minutes to read and would actually be fun……

    “Happy Holidays” in 1976. Long before many of the insufferable doofuses who endlessly complain about the “war on Christmas” and the “woke mind virus” were even born.
