Leon Day: Gateway to Christmas in July

Today marks the halfway point to Christmas – a kind of merry hump day known as Leon Day. “Leon” is Noel spelled backwards, a clever little moniker first noted in the Christmas community online way back in the 1990s.

Leon Day is also the gateway to Christmas-in-July – a month-long celebration of Christmas to bring in the masses to begin the season. There are Christmas activities and plans aplenty in the weeks ahead:
