Ho Ho Ho - Who wants melon?

So, I was in the store the other day, checking out one of my favorite areas, the fruit section. It's a fantastic place, I was walking between the peaches and the melons, an there it was, the jolliest fruit of them all. It also happened a fruit I had never heard of, the Santa Claus Melon.

The name obviously caught my attention, as I am a huge fan of anything Christmas, so I bought one. Here's a picture of it:

This was one of the larger fruits. The outside was green, the inside was a lighter green. It was crisp, fresh and moderately sweet. The texture actually reminded me of squash. It was pretty tasty. The name, however, still seems silly to me. There's no red, no fuzziness, and its a summer fruit. It has nothing resembling the holiday of all holidays in any way, or Jolly Ole St. Nick. The color and shape seem better suited to be called the Easter Bunny Melon.

Well, let me know what you think the real Christmas fruit should be? What fruit is most worth of being Santa's namesake? Personally, I have no idea.

Sincerely,

An 'average' Joe
