A classic Peanuts Christmas countdown on FiveCentsPlease.org for 2024

Ho ho ho! FiveCentsPlease.org's annual tradition of counting down the days to Christmas with the Peanuts gang returns on Friday, November 29.

Our home page will feature a different seasonally themed comic each day through December 25.

New Christmas countdown panels are no longer being made, so this year we've reached into the archives to bring you historical panels from 1985.  They haven't been republished (as far as we know) since their original run nearly 40 years ago!

(A few years ago, FiveCentsPlease.org co-host Derrick Bang uncovered 12 years of previously lost countdown panels... and this year he found several additional sets!  You can read all about his hunt in his original blog post and this update on new discoveries.)

The sources for these panels weren't high quality and required a fair bit of cleanup, so they don't look as crisp as many Peanuts strips.

But nevertheless, we hope you'll still find them as charming as we do, and visit our home page each day to enjoy these panels as the holiday approaches!
