Christmas Humor

Every year around Christmas time, it seems that everybody has nothing else to do except try to make the rest of the world groan over their Christmas "jokes" (Dad . . .). You see, all of those poor starving comedians know what time of year it is; everyone is thinking about Christmas, and the only way to get the populous to pay more attention to them than to shopping, Santa, and snowflakes is to start spouting off jokes that fit the mood of the season.

Oh, but don't get the idea that I hate those kind of jokes, in fact, some of them are quite hilarious (it must be that those comedians are trying extra hard). Let me share a couple with you.

The average 40 year old American has heard appoximately 16.3 different versions of the 12 Days of Christmas (source: PAPI International, 2004). Since I'm a homeschooler (yeah!), this one particularly appeals to me . . .

The 12 Days of Homeschool

On the first day of Homeschool my neighbor said to me. . . "Can you homeschool legally?"
