The Elf Story.....VCM No. 5

Well I this will be the last VCM before the "big day" so, I saved the "big collection" until last. 
This is my ginormous collection of Panoonies....panoonies? you say, what in the heck is a panoonie? In my world in my head that's what they're called. 

Here's how it all began. My sister and I, who is much like me in the imagination department, lived in our own little world growing up. We would create a whole fantasy story around any object that we found of interest....well, the lucky object on that day was the  knee hugger elf sitting a top the delicate plastic berries, of the gold glittered bell, of the fake mistletoe hanging in the living room doorway of my parents house. I distinctly remember the day we discovered the little fellow and thinking that he couldn't be an elf, they're only in the North Pole....so somehow we came up with the name panoonie. Since that day in the early 70's that is what they've been known as...at least in my family...

Well, you all know how it goes from there...a family faux pas, becomes a little inside joke, then becomes a silly little gift until it becomes a full blown collection.....so every year my sis and I exchange Panoonies and slip them to eachother whenever we find them.

I bring you panoonie ville.

This is a very special Christmas for my guys  they are very excited because as of yesterday they have a new mayor....Judi of the vintage hope chest, sent me the best gift giveaway of all....a leader for my elves....he's larger than life and already they've gathered for his inauguration.  They gang says thanks Judi.....and happy VCM to all! and to our wonderful host Joan thank you for bringing us all together to share our vintage Christmas  memories and treasures.......wishing everyone has a blessed Merry Christmas~

      The new mayor!
