Bet you won't hear this at your grocery store today ...

MegaSuper is not my favorite supermarket in Costa Rica for many reasons, and I normally only stop there for the basics—milk, bread, and eggs. While I don't care much for the store, I do appreciate that the MegaSuper people play some entertaining music for shoppers, including plenty of stuff in English which I enjoy.

Yesterday was an exception to that rule. Erin and I were looking at hot dogs when we heard the first notes of a very popular song. An instrumental, nicely done, very pleasant but extremely out of place. Silent Night. Yeah, the Christmas song. In March! What's up with that, anyway?

There is a guy here in my office that walks around whistling Christmas songs all year round. Its like the only songs he knows or something. It makes me wanna say something like...."how 'bout that summer we are having?" Or just throw something at him. :-)
