WinterWonderlandDailyChallenge

Rather than show a summer picture, here‘s one taken just now. Winter in Florida is better, but winter in Southern California isn‘t too bad. We are south enough that we don‘t get extreme darkness or extreme sunlight that other parts of the hemisphere get. This is Wally and me on the back deck at 10:00 AM. It‘s 62 Fahrenheit/,17 Celsius and the sun is shining. ☀️☀️☀️

Hard Candy for Christmas | Ella Dominguez

I don‘t eat hard candy very often, but when I do, I prefer Jolly Rancher watermelon flavor. Brings me right back to being 11 years old! 😃😋

TheKidUpstairs Oh my gosh, I can taste this picture! 1y

Susanita Yes! I‘m not a big fan of the fruit, but this is by far the best JR flavor. 1y

Andrew65 These sound interesting 🍬🍬🍬 1y

AlaMich Yes, 🍉 Jolly Ranchers are the best. This is known. 1y

RobES Absolute fave 😍 1y

marleed Haha. I could actually taste the watermelon candy flavor when I read this. I‘ve not tasted one in decades - particularly this brand- because hard candies rub the roof of my mouth raw! 1y

Never Kiss a Man in a Christmas Jumper | Debbie Johnson

One man‘s ugly Christmas sweater is another man‘s pride and joy! 😱😂 My sister and I got multiple use out of this questionable holiday sweater before it was donated to (hopefully) another appreciative wearer.

The Santa List | Kieran Crowley

I don‘t have any Christmas socks, alas and I get pretty tired of Christmas music by December 2 (thank goodness I don‘t work in retail, I‘d probably go mad). But, I do have a soft spot for this charity single “Do they know it‘s Christmas?” by Band Aid, despite its atrocious lyrics. I was 19 in 1984 and this effort to bring light on people suffering and how I could help made a great impression on me. When I hear this song, it‘s like a Time Machine.

DieAReader, Andrew65, GHABI4ROSES

TheBookHippie I agree. I go back to that time when I hear this. 1y

Andrew65 The mood of the time was great but yes the words are very condescending and make little sense. I turned 19 in 1984 too! 🎶🎶🎶 (edited) 1y

Bookwomble I did work in retail for over a decade, luckily for much of that time having discretion about what Christmas music was played, so developed a store-friendly but somewhat diverse playlist. When I left my intention was to never play those songs again, but it was too late: I need those songs to feel Christmassy! 🎅🎶🎄😄 1y

Cinfhen Bono discusses this song in his memoir and there‘s a whole chapter devoted to the problematic lyrics in

Africa Is Not a Country: Breaking Stereotypes of Modern Africa

Cinfhen But I totally agree!!! It‘s like a time machine!!! 1y

DieAReader ♥️♥️♥️ 1y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa It is a beloved time capsule for me too….despite everything 1y

LeahBergen Oh, it‘s a TOTAL time machine for me, too! 1y

Bklover Oh yes! I remember this one well! 1y

AnnR Ah, this brings back memories. Boy George and George Michael (Wham). 1y

BkClubCare Ditto. (And … ❤️ Wham!) 1y

mandarchy I am not a fan of Christmas, and most of the music drives me crazy. I could never work in retail. I do have a handful of songs that I do love. This is on the list. I was only 15 in 84. I love the question, do they know it's Christmas? There is so much pressure to participate that we can't imagine there are places that don't. 1y

CarolynM I did working retail a few Christmases when I was a teenager. The Christmas music torture is real🥴🥴🥴 You‘re right about this one being a time capsule, and also about some of the lyrics, but at least it‘s trying to draw attention to the problem unlike the atrociously self congrulatory We Are The World🤢 (edited) 1y

Ruthiella @CarolynM I agree. I dislike We Are the World. 1y
