Christmastime generates humorous word play — from knock-knock jokes to snowman fun.
Knock knock.
Who’s there?
Mary.
Mary who?
Merry Christmas!
And on the jaded side: Dear Christmas Carolers, the only thing that can bring “Joy to the World” is a “Silent Night.”
Try these out on your family and friends:
* Where do snowmen keep their money? In a snow bank.
* Did you know Santa only had eight reindeer last Christmas? Comet stayed home to clean the sink.
* What do snowmen do on the weekends? Chill out.
* What has a jolly laugh, brings you presents and scratches up your furniture? Santa Claws.
* Do you know the definition of claustrophobia? Fear of Santa Claus.
* What did one snowman say to the other snowman? Do you smell carrots?
* How does a sheep say Merry Christmas? Fleece Navidad!
* What’s a child’s favorite king at Christmas? A stocking.
* Why does Santa have a garden? Because he likes to ho-ho-ho.
* How many presents can Santa put into an empty sack? Only one; then it’s not empty any more.
* How do you scare a snowman? You get a hairdryer.
* What did the reindeer say when he saw an elf? Nothing, reindeer can’t talk.
* What did Mrs. Claus say to Santa when she looked in the sky? “Looks like rain, dear.”
* Why did the Grinch go to the liquor store? He was looking for the holiday spirit.
* What do you call a sheep who doesn’t like Christmas? Baaaaaaaa humbug.
And remember: When you stop believing in Santa Claus is when you start getting clothes for Christmas.
