Santa Claus - My Fake Diary

I see they have marketed a Santa Claus Melon now!

Also known as the Christmas melon, this unique fruit seemed a welcomed beacon of cooler seasons to come when we found it on the fruit aisle one hot summer day.

The Santa Claus melon has a mild flavour, generally not as sweet as honeydew melons.

The green and gold speckled melon resembles a small football-shaped watermelon.

The color of the hard shell is a sign of this melon's ripeness. The brighter the yellow, the riper and sweeter it is. An average Santa Claus melon weighs 5 pounds.

The nerve of some people! Santa Claus melon indeed...
