Four old-timers were playing their weekly game ofgolf, and one remarked how nice it would be towake up on Christmas morning, roll out of bed andwithout an argument go directly to the golf course,meet his buddies and play a round.His buddies all chimed in and said, "Let's do it, we'llmake it a priority, figure out a way and meet hereearly Christmas morning."Months later, that special morning arrives, and therethey are on the golf course.The first guy says, "Boy this game cost me afortune! I bought my wife such a diamond ring thatshe can't take her eyes off it."Number 2 guy says, "I spent a ton, too. My wife is athome planning the cruise I gave her. She was up toher eyeballs in brochures."Number 3 guy says "Well my wife is at homeadmiring her new car, reading the manual."They all turned to the last guy in the group who isstaring at them like they have lost their minds.“I can't believe you all went to such expense for thisgolf game. I slapped my wife on the butt and said,'Well babe, Merry Christmas! It's a great morning foreither sex or golf,' and she said... 'Take a sweater!'"

When four of Santa's elves got sick, and thetrainee elves did not produce the toys as fast asthe regular elves, Santa was beginning to feel thepressure of being behind schedule.Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her mother wascoming to visit. This stressed Santa even more.When he went to harness the reindeer, Santafound that three of them were about to give birthand two had jumped the fence and were out,heaven knows where. More stress.Then, when he began to load the sleigh, one of theboards cracked and the toy bag fell to the groundand scattered the toys.Frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup ofapple cider and a shot of rum. When he went tothe cupboard, he discovered that the elves hadhidden the liquor, and there was nothing to drink.In his frustration, Santa accidentally dropped thecider pot, breaking it into hundreds of little piecesall over the kitchen floor.He went to get the broom and found that mice hadeaten the straw end of the broom.Just then, the doorbell rang and irritable Santatrudged to the door. He opened it, and there was alittle angel with a great big Xmas tree.The angel cheerfully said, "Merry Christmas, Santa.Isn't it a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree foryou. Where would you like me to stick it?And thus began the tradition of the little angel ontop of the Xmas tree.

Did you ever wonder why there are no deadpenguins on the ice in Antarctica – where do theygo?Wonder no more ! ! !It is a known fact that the penguin is a veryritualistic bird which lives an extremely orderedand complex life. The penguin is very committed toits family and will mate for life, as well as maintaina form of compassionate contact with its offspringthroughout its life.If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, othermembers of the family and social circle have beenknown to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigialwings and beaks, until the hole is deep enough forthe dead bird to be rolled into, and buried.The male penguins then gather in a circle aroundthe fresh grave and sing:"Freeze a jolly good fellow.""Freeze a jolly good fellow."Then, they kick him in the ice hole.You really didn't believe that we knew anythingabout penguins, did you?

Apology Letter To Spouse - PRICELESS!Hi Sweetheart,I am sorry about getting into an argument aboutputting up the Christmas lights. I guess that sometimesI feel like you are pushing me too hard when you wantsomething. I realize that I was wrong and I amapologizing for being such a hard-headed guy. All Iwant is for you to be happy and be able to enjoy theholiday season. Nothing brightens the Christmas spiritlike Christmas lights! I took the time to hang the lightsfor you today; and now I will be off to the hockey rink.Again, I am very sorry for the way I acted yesterday. I'llbe home later.Love you……

HER RESPONSE -Hi Honey,Thank you for that heart-felt apology. I don't often getan apology from you, and I truly appreciate it. I, too, feltbad about the argument and wanted to apologize. Irealize that I can sometimes be a little pushy. I will tryto respect your feelings from now on. Thank you fortaking the time to hang the Christmas lights for me. Itreally means a lot. In the spirit of giving, I washed yourtruck for you; and now I am off to the mall.I love you too!
