The Annual Christmas Jokes

Oh yayyyyyyyyy, I got my sick computer back from the shop just in time to not miss the Annual Polly Christmas joke. Sorry for not reading and posting much but the computer had a problem and had to go see the computer doctor. Hugs and prayers to those that need them. Merry Christmas to those that celebrate.

Love in Stitches,

Coleen (having to mark everything as read to catch up)

Now the Christmas Season has *truly* begun!!!! I need to go do some shopping and some baking and make another batch of caramels, and.....

Leslie & The Furbabies > And now, back by popular request -

We're ON it, Polly ... and PROUD to do so!! I am hoping Tutu's Drums join the melee.

Yah-Hoo!! And Merry Christmas to you, too. PAT in VA/USA

I'm so glad I looked at the group this morning! Your joke has made my "going to be a not so great" day into a "not so bad" day.....thanks!

Oh Polly, I love this one I have used it in clown skits many times around the holidays.

This one just in from my friend, the weatherman. Apparently, the weather wasn't much to talk about this morning. One Sunday, in counting the money in the weekly offering, the pastor of a small Florida church found a plain pink envelope containing $1000.

It happened again the next week.

The following Sunday, he watched as the offering was collected and saw a little old lady put the distinctive pink envelope in the plate. This went on for weeks until the pastor, overcome by curiosity, approached her.

Maam, I couldnt help but notice that you put $1,000 a week in the collection plate, he stated.

Why yes, she replied, every week my son sends me money, and I give some of it to the church. The pastor replied, Thats wonderful, how much does he send you?

The old lady said, $10,000 a week.

The pastor was amazed.

Your son is very successful; what does he do for a living?

He is a veterinarian, she answered.

That is an honorable profession,

the pastor said. Where does he practice?

The little old lady said proudly, In Nevada. He has two cat houses in Las Vegas and one in Reno.

I'm soooooo glad I'd put my coffee cup down before reading this!!!!! Thanks!!!! KJ

My precious little mother truly was that naive. Thank goodness none of her sons were veterinarians. Polly

Thanks for this story! Great way to start the day with a big laugh!

Howdy!

What do you get if Santa goes down the chimney where a fire is burning? Crispy Cringle

Thanks, Polly! My dad talked like that. ;-)

This year I 'got it' straight away!

LOL!! Thanks, Polly. Nancycog in MD, who has an apple/mincemeat pie baking right now and it smells like Christmas!!

I love this one, our treasurer from church is on the way to my house now, I am printing it for her. Sure wish our church would get some of those pink envelopes. Now we are not hurting for money but we need two new roofs and they are going to be hard to come by.

Sitting here in OZ with a big smile on my face. Thanks Polly!

BTW - if those big red trucks are still around they are probably here and working. There was a news item last night that they wheeled a very old fire truck out of a museum and got it running, and it could even be used in the current fire season.

Thanks Polly. I'll be going to work with a smile today. Heather in West Oz

Oh I love it! It made my day! I would just love for once to hear Poly say the joke as oppose to read it. Thank you Polly, Christmas Season is officially started!

I'll do it for you one day, even if it's the 4th of July. And you will laugh because I get so tickled telling it that you won't be able to help yourself. Even the Yorkie grins when I tell him it's time for the Christmas joke. Polly

ROFLOL!! Oh I love it!
