Yes, it’s a Christmas name
Noelle Nelson, a loaned campaign executive from The Boeing Co. to United Way of Snohomish County, was supposed to be a Christmas baby.
She was born in 1959 on Oahu Island, Hawaii.
“As my mom said, I wanted to see what Christmas was all about so I arrived five days before my due date on Dec. 20,” Nelson said. “There was a half-page article written on my arrival.”
She said it must have been a slow news week.
