    • Trivia
      This special is one of many that Violet and Patty are reduced to silent cameos. These two characters (among others like Shermy, Pig Pen, and Frieda) were prominent in the earlier specials, such as It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966) and A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965), but were phased out with the introduction of Peppermint Patty and Marcie.
    • Goofs
      During the musical chairs segment, we see Pig Pen standing behind a chair toward the end of the game, when Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty are left. Pig Pen never was playing the game in the first place.
    • Quotes

      Lucy van Pelt: [as Schroeder plays his piano] Well, are you taking me to the party or not?

      [Schroeder stops playing]

      Schroeder: Musicians don't dance. And anyway, I'll be playing the piano at the party.

      [continues playing]

      Lucy van Pelt: I don't mind the rejection; it's the smile that bugs me.

    All time great line

    This has one of my all-time favorite lines. Sally wonders to Charlie Brown, when will her Sweet Babboo invite her to the party? Linus responds from outside, "I AM NOT YOUR SWEET BABBOO! AND I WOULDN'T INVITE YOU TO A GARAGE SALE!"

    I think this also marks the only appearance ever of the Little Red Haired Girl, whom we not only see, but also find out that her name is Heather.

    Poor Charlie Brown... trying to learn to dance, read War and Peace, make an appearance at at New Year's Party, and still deal with his crazy dog!
