SUNDAY FUNNIES: OUR ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PARTY, SORT OF...

Hello Everybody! Piper D. Katt here and with me is The Free Choice E-zine's own humble Editor-In-Chief Lee Houston, Junior.

As long time readers know, we lost our dear friend Autumn The Puppy a short while ago. It's an ache that still hurts as her absence continues to resound around the TFCE office. I have had the difficult task of interviewing potential replacements, but haven't made a final decision on that subject yet.

In any event, it's the last Sunday before December 25, so here are some appropriate holiday jokes from us to you...

Dumping trash at Christmas time is easy.
Wrap your garbage and leave it on the back seat of your unlocked car when you go to the mall.
Happily, every time you return from shopping, someone will have taken your garbage out for you. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Everyone dreams of a White Christmas but, depending upon where you live, Snow is not actually a word.
It's actually an acronym for Stuff No One Wants.❆❄  
It may be fun to watch it fall and to play in, but the clean up afterwards...๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

What do you call Kris Kringle taking a break?
Santa Pause.๐ŸŽ…

A child managed to stay up and surprise Santa on Christmas Eve.
The kid was even more surprised upon realizing what Santa was leaving under the tree.๐ŸŽ„
“Oh Wow Santa. A drum๐Ÿฅ set?”
Santa replied, “Yes. Your parents were naughty this year.”


Would an Artic survey be a North Poll?

What do snowmen⛄⛄ like to eat for breakfast?
Frosted Flakes.

What is Tarzan's favorite Christmas Carol?
♫Jungle Bells.♫

Why is it cold in a lot of places during Christmas?
Because it's Decembrrrrrrrrr.

And on that note♫
The way the rotation schedule was set up to begin with, I'll be covering December 26 and January 2 while the ladies Piper has the holiday weekends off.
My next scheduled appearance is January 9, 2022 and on January 16...???
Afraid I don't know yet Piper.

But in any event, Take Care.
STAY SAFE! ๐Ÿ˜ท
And please be back here again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!PDK and lh,jr.

In memory of our friend Autumn.

THE PUZZLE CORNER: DECEMBER 19, 2020

๐Ÿ˜ŽFUN FACT
Despite the pandemic, because of their Happy Meal prizes, McDonald’s is technically the world’s largest toy distributor.

NUMBER PLEASE
Get ready! We ask the question, but the answer is just a number.
How many presents can Santa Claus๐ŸŽ… put into an empty sack?

THE LETTER SHUFFLE
How many new words can you spell out of the letters in CHRISTMAS?

We’ll reveal all next weekend but for now, let’s open up THE ANSWERS BOX๐ŸŽ and discover the results from the December 12, 2020 Puzzle Corner.

TRIVIA TIME⌚
Thanks to Public Broadcasting, A Charlie Brown Christmas aired on December 13 to maintain its consecutive presentation streak since debuting in 1965. What THREE other holiday specials have aired EVERY YEAR since their premieres?
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer๐ŸฆŒ since 1964, Doctor Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas since 1966 and Frosty the Snowman since 1969.

FAMOUS FIRSTS๐Ÿฅ‡
What did A Charlie Brown Christmas do that no animated feature did before?
Used actual children to voice the characters instead of having adult actors do the voices.
Some also claim the special is responsible for ending the Aluminum Christmas Tree๐ŸŽ„ fad that existed in the early 1960s, but that’s never been confirmed.
