Christmas Links Volume Two
Wednesday, 12.20.06 @ 12:09AM 
Are you freaking out on Christmas Overload yet? So am I! But unlike all those wonderful sweet greetings you get in your inbox and your snail mailbox, these links are a bit rude and crude. Well, some of them are. Some are nice! Some are naughty but nice! Points to you if you can figure out which is which... me, I’ve got more material than I can possibly sort out, and I’m a real person with cookies to bake and gifts to wrap, so I’m down to just throwing links at you and hoping something sticks. Meaning, I hope there’s something here you may enjoy.
The title graphic today comes from The Christmas song generator. You can put your own name in carols, too! (via the Generator Blog)

SYMBOLISM
Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. "In honor of this holy season," Saint Peter said, "you must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven."
The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. "It represents a candle," he said.
"You may pass through the pearly gates," Saint Peter said.
The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, "They're bells."
Saint Peter said, "You may pass through the pearly gates."
The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties. St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?"
The man replied, "These are Carol's."

Thought for today: In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it 'Christmas' and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukkah' and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukkah!' or (to the atheists) 'Look out for the wall!' ~Dave Barry
