Today is Leon Day! We are halfway to Christmas! A donut sounds perfect to me.
We are thinking COLD, trying to remember snowflakes, building snowpeople, sledding, skiing, and eating Christmas Snow ice cream! It is 100F at 9:20am so this is a definite challenge. [wink]
What is Leon Day you may ask:
Leon Day marks the half-way point from one Christmas to the next. LEON is NOEL, the French word for Christmas, spelled backwards. It is celebrated on June 25th, i.e. the turning point when Christmas begins to come closer on the calendar. It is 182.5 days before Christmas day. Leon Day is a time to begin thinking about ideas for homemade ornaments, creating gifts and decorations for the Christmas holiday.
Wishing each of you the weather that relaxes you and promotes your very best day!
