If you are like me, you do not have a television, so you are missing all the special holiday programming. This sweet video is a late one created by the late, great Charles M.

That would be the Vince Guaraldi Trio, which did the music for all those early Charlie Brown animated specials. I can't find a recording with just the Thanksgiving music, but at least some of it appears to be included on Charlie Brown's Holiday Hits.
I can personally recommend A Charlie Brown Christmas; when my wife hauls out the Christmas recordings for non-stop play in order to instill the proper amount of holiday cheer, that one's my favorite.
I believe all the Peanuts jazz pieces were done by Vince Guaraldi and his trio.
