  CRACKS

To All,

I have been watching you very closely to see if you have been good this year and since you have I will be telling my elves to make some goodies for me to leave under your tree at Christmas. I was going to bring you all gifts from the 12 days of Christmas, but we had a little problem. The 12 fiddlers fiddling have all come down with VD from fiddling with the 10 ladies dancing, the 11 lords leaping have knocked

up the 8 maids a-milking, and the 9 pipers piping have been arrested for doing weird things to the 7 swans a-swimming. The 6 geese a-laying, 4 calling birds, 3 French hens, 2 turtle doves and the partridge in a pear tree have me up to my sled runners in bird shit.

On top of all this Mrs. Claus is going through menopause, 8 of my reindeer are in heat, the elves have joined the gay liberation and some people who can't read a calendar have scheduled Christmas for the 5th of January. ( those damn Greeks !) Maybe next year I will be able to get my shit together and bring you the things you want. This year I suggest you get your asses down to Wal-Mart before everything is gone.

Sincerely,

Santa Claus

  TRIVIA
T'was The Night Before Christmas


T'was The Night Before Christmas,
He Lived All Alone, In
A One Bedroom House,
Made Of Plaster And Stone.

I Had Come Down The Chimney,
With Presents To Give,
And To See Just Who,
In This Home Did Live.

I Looked All About,
A Strange Sight I Did See,
No Tinsel, No Presents,
Not Even A Tree.

No Stocking By The Mantle,
Just Boots Filled With Sand,
On The Wall Hung Pictures,
Of Far Distant Lands.

With Medals And Badges,
Awards Of All Kinds,
A Sober Thought,
Came Through My Mind.

For This House Was Different,
It Was Dark And Dreary,
I Found The Home Of A Soldier,
Once I Could See Clearly.

The Soldier Lay Sleeping,
Silent, Alone,
Curled Up On The Floor,
In This One Bedroom Home.

The Face Was So Gentle,
The Room In Such Disorder,
Not How I Pictured,
A Canadian Soldier.

Was This The Hero,
Of Whom I'd Just Read?
Curled Up On A Poncho,
The Floor For A Bed?

I Realized The Families,
That I Saw This Night,
Owed Their Lives To These Soldiers,
Who Were Willing To Fight.

Soon Round The World,
The Children Would Play,
And Grownups Would Celebrate,
A Bright Christmas Day.


They All Enjoyed Freedom,
Each Month Of The Year,
Because Of The Soldiers,
Like The One Lying Here.

I Couldn't Help Wonder,
How Many Lay Alone,
On A Cold Christmas Eve,
In A Land Far From Home.

The Very Thought,
Brought A Tear To My Eye,
I Dropped To My Knees,
And Started To Cry.

The Soldier Awakened,
And I Heard A Rough Voice,
"Santa, Don't Cry,
This Life Is My Choice.

I Fight For Freedom,
I Don't Ask For More,
My Life Is My God,
My Country, My Corps."

The Soldier Rolled Over,
And Drifted To Sleep,
I Couldn't Control It,
I Continued To Weep.

I Kept Watch For Hours,
So Silent And Still,
And We Both Shivered,
From The Cold Night's Chill.

I Didn't Want To Leave,
On That Cold, Dark Night,
This Guardian Of Honor,
So Willing To Fight.

Then The Soldier Rolled Over,
With A Voice, Soft And Pure,
Whispered, "Carry On Santa,
It's Christmas Day, All Is Secure."

One Look At My Watch,
And I Knew He Was Right,
"Merry Christmas My Friend,
And To All A Good Night."

This Poem Was Written By A Peace Keeping Soldier Stationed Overseas.

  STUFF

Christmas Quickies

Mum, Can I have a dog for Christmas ?
No you can have turkey like everyone else!

Who is never hungry at Christmas ?
The turkey - he's always stuffed!

What's the best thing to put into a Christmas cake ?
Your teeth!

I'd like Father Christmas stew.
Er... how do you make Father Christmas stew?
You keep him waiting half an hour!

Doctor, with all the excitement of Christmas I can't sleep.
Try lying on the edge of your bed...you'll soon drop off!

Doctor, Doctor I'm scared of Santa Clause.
Doctor You're suffering from Claus-trophobia.

Patient: My problem is that I keep stealing things when I go Christmas shopping. Can you give me something for it!
Doctor: Try this medicine... and if it doesn't work come back and bring me a new video camera.

Avon Calling...

An Avon saleslady selling her products on the 40th floor of a high-rise apartment building felt a terrible gas pain. Looking for privacy, she spotted an empty elevator which she immediately entered and pressed (1). The doors closed and the elevator started descending. The Lady cut one that peeled the paint off the walls. It smelled so bad it brought tears to her eyes.

She reached into her sample bag of Avon products and sprayed some pine scented room freshener to mask the terrible odor. The elevator stopped short of the first floor and as the doors opened, a drunk staggered in.

The doors closed and the elevator started descending once again. The drunk started looking around the elevator while sniffing the air and wouldn't quit. Finally the Avon saleslady, hoping for a complement on her pine scented room freshener asked the drunk what it was he was smelling.

The drunk replied "I don't know for sure lady, but I think someone just shit a Christmas tree."
