It's time to dedecorate for Christmas. That means putting LEON away for another year. LEON came to us about 10 years ago from Dan's sister, Bernie. She sent it along with that years Christmas gifts in a box with a note on the outside. Bernie wrote "Dan, remember how you used to torture Mother with "LEON"?
When recounting stories from his childhood, Dan often says that he should have been taken out and shot. I think he was really just your average little boy growing up in rural Minnesota - part prankster - part cutiepie. Anyway, every Christmas his Mom would put out this adorable set of angel candle holders and little Danny would rearrange the letters from NOEL to LEON driving his Mother crazy! Such fun!
We just love LEON - so sad to put her away for another 11 months.
Happy 2011
