I think we take this Christmas business too seriously so here’s my contribution!

That reminds me of DD, who aged about 6, asked me what 'Sennacles' meant. We were watching Gremlins and the actor had said, "And that's why I don't believe in Santa Claus." Phew, my DD was quite happy with my explanation of 'Sennacles' was something that Americans had and we didn't have them over here!

Is that who the Marx brothers referred to as the “Sanity Clause” ?

No one should concern themselves with Christmas this year as it is looking like it will be cancelled. Apparently, the World Health Organisation are accusing Santa Clause of planning what could become a super spreader event on the evening of the 24th of December. They are also alleging that the size of his Lapland bubble is beyond legal limits and that many of the elves are refusing to wear masks. ??

Now this is funny ?
From today’s DT

What’s up, dock? Bugs Bunny and pals due in court after IT error
CARTOON characters Mickey and Minnie Mouse were set to appear in the dock, after an IT error meant they accidentally appeared on court listings

Initial lists issued on behalf of Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court suggested Bugs Bunny, Road Runner, Buzz Lightyear and Sleeping Beauty were due for mention in hearings yesterday

Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Donald Duck were also listed as being due before a judge from 10am

True !

Re the ‘stressed Christmas cats’ one, I forwarded that to my cat-loving SiL (she usually has about 6 elderly rescue/foster cats) - and she just replied saying, ‘Don’t forget the odd newly arrived bag or box that gets left by the front door and which therefore must be peed on immediately to neutralise any threat to the feline inhabitants.’

One snowman says to another, “ Do you smell carrots?”

Love that one Daddima ?
I would use that to make Christmas cards if I could be bothered making any.

Witzend Thu 12-Nov-20 11:48:54

Meant to add, thanks very much for all these! I needed a laugh this morning.

Witzend Thu 12-Nov-20 11:47:24

There was a most irreverent Christmas card I bought years ago (only for those who I knew would enjoy it.)

It was the traditional scene of shepherds watching their flocks by night, complete with angels in the sky, coming to tell them the good news.

Only there was a bubble coming out of one shepherd’s mouth, saying, ‘Bugger off! You’re scaring the sheep!’
