YES, the Peanuts holiday specials are all available on one DVD!! Also, I couldn't agree with this writer more - I look forward to those Charlie Brown movies every time the holidays roll around. Wish The Great Pumpkin was on TV this year... Happy Halloween!

Why would you ruin your tea by adding sugar and lemon :p
Lemon juice actually enhances the subtler tea flavors, bringing them within range of the human sense of the taste, so you get a more thorough appreciation for the tea you're drinking. People who drink tea with lemon have been known to pinpoint not only the type of tea, but also its age and sometimes even the specific plantation where it was grown.
Sugar makes it sweet.
I guess if you drink black tea you have to add all the flavor back in...
You're not seriously proposing that green tea has more flavor than black? In any case, I made up that bit about lemon juice, and I like drinking certain kinds of tea straight (sencha, lapsang souchong). But Darjeeling, Ceylon, and English Breakfast are ideal with lemon and sugar. Now don't get me started on varieties of sugar :)
I don't really like green that much either, I'm mostly talking about oolong, or pu erh, or like you said, lapsang souchong (though that usually tastes more like smoke than tea to me. I have a pine smoked one that's triple bagged so my kitchen doesn't smell like a forest fire).
