loony christmas humour
Well since Al mentioned the "L" word, here's my favourite Christmas story:
It was the first Christmas Eve after Santa had been hired to bring toys to all the good boys and girls in the world, and things weren't going well at all. The sleigh was in the shop. Eight of the reindeer were sick. Mrs. Claus almost burned down the shop making the Christmas cookies. And the elves were way behind in making all the toys that Santa was supposed to be delivering. So now, we find Santa in his workshop brooding when his guardian angel appears in the sky above his workshop.
The angel looks down at Santa, see's he's not in a good mood and says to herself, "I bet it would cheer Santa up if I went and got his Christmas tree for him." So off goes this little angel into the forest to find the most beautiful tree she can to bring back for Santa. After finding it and cutting it down, she goes back to Santa's workshop and knocks on his door.
Santa opens the door, looking particularly cross (he'd just heard that Rudolph's nose burned out and he'd have to fly in the dark tonight if his sleigh ever got fixed). The little angel puts on her biggest smile and says, "Hi Santa! Merry Christmas! I know you're having a bad day, so I went and got you the most beautiful Christmas tree I could find for you! Isn't it a beauty?"
Santa says nothing, but those rosy red cheeks have been turning redder and redder as the angel's been speaking. Seeing that she wasn't going to get a verbal response from jolly ol' St. Nick, she continues: "Tell you what, Santa. Since you're having such a bad day, I'll even put it up and decorate it for you, just so you have one less thing to worry about it. So tell me, where do you want me to put it?"
And thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
HOPE EVERYONE HAS A HAPPY AND SAFE ONE
