This next prize package is perfect for the Peanuts Fan — or even fans of that loveable little pooch Snoopy! Peanuts has declared 2011 “The Year of Happiness Is…..” Following its debut in a 1960 comic strip, the simple phrase “Happiness is…” raised the profile of PEANUTS from popular comic strip to iconic brand, and became a catchphrase during tumultuous and uncertain times. The phrase was also made famous by the popular song “Happiness Is” from the Tony-winning musical You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, featuring the familiar lyrics:

Happiness is morning and evening,

Daytime and nighttime too.

For happiness is anyone and anything at all

That’s loved by you.

Since its original incarnation, “Happiness is…” has come to be associated with dozens of concepts, including “a warm blanket,” “an umbrella and a raincoat,” “a pile of leaves,” and even “a sad song.”

Happiness is….different things for different people.  To me Happiness is…hugs and kisses from my little ones, a hot cup of coffee early in the morning when it’s quiet, or watching a movie with my hubby on date night.

In celebration of 2011 being the year of “Happiness Is….”, Peanuts Worldwide is going to send one reader “Happiness in a Box”, by giving away a prize package that includes the Peanuts holiday DVD “A Charlie Brown Valentine, ” the book “Be My Valentine Charlie Brown”, the book “Happiness is a Warm Puppy,” Candy, Plush Musical Snoopy, and a fun Peanuts T-Shirt!
