Christmas in August, I know, ridiculous. You can thank Google for it. If you want to get a post on a new website indexed by the search engine giant you have to put it online up to 6 months before it will start showing up in search results. I would like to be talking about how I’m in the Christmas spirit, how the snow is falling outdoors, the Christmas tree has bee adorned with all the lights and presents are starting to accumulate under it’s base. The smell of freshly backed cookies and candies permeates every room of the house.

Yeah, I would like to say those things, but the truth is that it’s so damn hot I can hardly breath. The AC unit just won’t keep up with the heat and to top it off there is a class 3 hurricane with North Carolina’s coast in it’s sights. I don’t guess a sentimental post on how my mother used to make Christmas candy or how she would wrap it in celophane with colorful ribbons to give to the neighbors is going to be heart felt. I could go on about how you should order a bunch of the pictured buttons to use as stocking stuffers or to wear to the company Christmas party but hell, it’s beach weather and I’m just to hot and tired to try and spread any Christmas cheer. The only good thing about this post is that I can look back and wish it was summer again when I’m knee deep in snow.
