Merry Christmas

[51eleven]

One of my favorite Christmas Songs. Based in truth about Fort Worth and Santo, and a man who lost the use of his legs to meningitis.

Here's the story behind the song.

Willie Nelson’s sad ‘Pretty Paper’ is a real story. And it’s set in downtown Fort Worth - Downtown Ft Worth

I don't take the tree and decorations down until after New Year's. In part for the grandkids, but me too. So. it ain't over yet.

Thanks for sharing that story. My mother's family lived just three miles east of Santo and I attended Santo schools for several years and never heard this story. Rancher Bob Neeley also ran a service station across from Thornton's Mercantile for a few years.

And a Happy New year!
