Love this story! I happen to have grown up in the house directly across the street from Peg and Tony Leone from the age of 4 1/2. My sister, a calligrapher, painted their name and number on the mailbox that still stands outside the house. I remember how exciting it was when their Christmas decorations went up every year. It meant Santa was coming really soon!! Thanks for the memories.

I say we put this up for a Pulitzer Prize, it deserve’s it! My favorite line, “When Chandra and Phil broke up, he took off with the reindeer and Santa Claus, never to be seen again”
