I wanted to take some time out from what has been a frantic holiday season to post a little holiday well wishes to everyone here on the blog. Considering how crazy things have been with shopping and family and travelling, retreating to the relative peace of What About Watermelon is actually kind of nice.
Here’s hoping that everyone has a great holiday with friends and family. And instead of following the old tradition of putting an orange in the stockings, how ‘bout a mini watermelon instead?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!
Can’t find a mini watermelon so it’s going to have to be an orange.
I hope you had a good Christmas, Ellen. And I’m not surprised about the mini watermelon shortage… I’m having a hard time finding them too.
