More Fun

Well you certainly seemed to enjoy the Christmas humour yesterday. One person asked me to post more.  Well, I do have a couple more but they are slightly ruder than the ones previously posted and I do not want to offend anyone.  I will leave it up to you , my readers, whether you want me to post them another time or not.

In the meantime here is a little story for you:-

Why The Angel Decorates The Top Of The Tree

There had been no snow during the entire month of December. The elves in the bicycle department had been on strike since October, and now there was the possibility that the elves in the doll department might join them.

Daily life at the North Pole was not pleasant, and Santa Claus was in a pretty foul mood. Mrs. Claus was suffering from arthritis and was very mad over the fact that her cake had fallen in the oven. Santa had tried to round up some extra helpers, but with no snow, they weren't able to make it by sleigh to the workshop.

Rudolph had a bad cold, and his nose wouldn't light up. Comet and Prancer were fighting over Vixen, who had just come into heat. Blitzen's right foreleg was still in a cast, and the vet said that they would have to wait until 24th December to decide if Blitzen would be able to pull the sleigh.

The electricity went off, and all the power tools came to a stop. There was nothing going right in Santa's workshops. The helpers were about three weeks behind in their work, and it didn't look that all the toys would be ready by Christmas Eve. Santa's foul mood was exacerbated by a bad case of Piles, and he wasn't too happy about the possibility of having to ride so far on Christmas Eve.

Seeing the terrible state of affairs at the North Pole with Santa, the angels took up a collection to buy a gift for the unhappy workers and the Clauses - something that would brighten their Christmas.They chose a Christmas tree, and they sent it down with an angel to deliver it. 

The angel burst into the workshop room and asked,


"HEY, WHERE DO YOU WANT ME TO STICK THIS TREE?"

**********************************************

Now, a quiz for you.  Have a go at guessing the Titles of these carols.  The language is very flowery but there are clues if you look for them.  I know how busy you all are, but if you would care to take part, the first person to e-mail me with all the correct answers or the person who gets the most correct answers, will be awarded a pretty Christmas scene by me to use as wallpaper on their computer.  So, there is a prize up for grabs today.  Have fun.  The winner will be announced tomorrow evening (Thursday).

  1. Move hitherward the entire assembly of those who are loyal in their belief
  2. Listen, the celestial messengers produce harmonious sounds.
  3. Nocturnal time span of unbroken quietness.
  4. An emotion excited by the acquisition or expectation of good given to the terrestrial sphere.
  5. Embellish the interior passageways.
  6. Exalted heavenly beings to whom harkened.

  11. Omnipotent supreme being who elicits respite to ecstatic distinguished males.
  12. Tranquillity upon the terrestrial sphere.
  13. Obese personification fabricated of compressed mounds of minute crystals.
  14. Expectation of arrival to populated area by mythical, masculine perennial gift giver.
  15. Natal celebration devoid of color, rather albino, as a hallucinatory phenomenon for me.
  16. In awe of the nocturnal time span characterized by religiosity.
  17. Geographic state of fantasy during the seasonof mother nature's dormancy.
  18. The first person nominative plural of triumvirate of far eastern heads of state.

  20. In a distant location the existence of an improvised unit of newborn children's slumber furniture.
  21. Proceed forth declaring upon a specific geological alpine formation.

I love that joke!!

I was trying to remember it a few days ago ... and couldn't quite recall it. Having a difficult time over here trying to decide if we're going to get a tree. We're going away for a few days after Christmas, and have decided that a real tree would not be a good idea ... thus, my first artificial tree, ever.

Happy Holidays!!

Enjoyed your graphics and the "Rodney Dangerfield" Santa's workshop.  You know as Rodney would say: "I can't get no respect".    I see Silent Night in one of the Christmas Carol clues.   Well, I awoke a 4 am and could not sleep and it is 5:30 now and I will try to sleep a little more.   Hope your Christmas season is great.     mark
