The dilemma

It was recently requested that I update my blog, so I've decided to write about a very serious and pressing dilemma for which I have no good answer. That dilemma is seasonally themed underwear. Mostly, Christmas and Winter themed boxers.

Is it appropriate to wear these boxers in other seasons? Is that a serious fashion mistake? Am I somehow jinxing myself? I must admit, I do feel a bit odd wearing my boxers printed with pictures of a dog with an antler headpiece or skiers in 90 degree weather. But what is my alternative - to only wear these boxers during the Winter months? They would sit around for 2/3s of the year, taking up space and according undue wear to my other, less seasonally specific underwear. The utilitarian in me says to just wear them, and so I do. But every time I put them on, I feel a bit discomforted. The dogs with their antlers almost look back at me in embarrassment, as if they are saying "really dude, you are going to put antlers on my head in this heat?"
