TV Traditions
When the outside world can sometimes be overwhelming, we can provide love and comfort to our special kiddos by creating traditions that are simple and quiet. Every holiday in our house has some TV traditions attached. These traditions provide peaceful moments of predictability during seasons that often get filled with parties and candy, music and lights. And Halloween adds costumes to the insanity!
So, every year around Halloween, we watch “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.” It is a wonderful Halloween show for young kids because it is not scary. We are happy to share this Mauro Family TV Tradition with you today.
