As the Thanksgiving holiday kicks off and everyone prepares to see their family, gorge on turkey, and line up for their Black Friday shopping in the cold, another tradition has arrived with the annual broadcast of A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. A staple of holiday viewing, since it's one of the few Thanksgiving-themed specials that air during the November holiday, some have started to realize a critical plot point that sends the wrong message, and it all comes down to Peppermint Patty.

Many fans are taking to Twitter to express outrage at the behavior of some of the attendants of the titular meal, specifically how Peppermint Patty acts when she sees the holiday spread. The meal -- buttered toast, pretzel sticks, popcorn, jelly beans, and an ice cream sundae -- is served at a table in Charlie Brown's backyard, and Patty makes her displeasure with the offerings known to all in attendance. Though clearly a message intended for children about one of the tenants of the Thanksgiving holiday, fans have begun expressing their true feelings about Peppermint Patty's outburst online. We've collected some of our favorites here for your enjoyment -- consider it our holiday tradition.

What's your take on Peppermint Patty's behavior? An over-reaction intended to be the crux of the special's morality play or a further example of a character being out of touch with her surroundings? Sound off in the comments below and don't be a Patty when your family gets together.
