>When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce

>pre-Christmas pressure. Then Mrs Claus told Santa her Mother was

>When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were

>
>Heaven knows where. Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the
>floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys
were

>cider and a shot of rum.
>
>When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drunk all
the

dropped
>the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all
over

eaten
>all the straw off the end of the broom.
>
>Just then the doorbell rang, and irritated Santa marched to the door,
>yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big
>Christmas tree. The angel said very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas,
Santa.
>Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would
you
>like me to stick it?"
>
>And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas

It's a little known secret that Donner was just as fast and had an equally bright red nose as Rudolph, only he couldn't stop as well.

Nah, a little too tame for me. Funny enough would be laugh a bit out loud for real. I just went ah, ok, at the end. Not a bad joke, just light on the make me crack up side.

I hate most forwards....

I hate ALL xmas forwards.

I hate almost ALL forward jokes.

I had such a strange reaction with this one. Not quite indifference, but it wasn't funny.
