Oh dear, that elf on a shelf made me laugh! And the woman who wrote that book is from Georgia! She tried to do one tying it in with birthdays, but even the most innocent saw through her ploy of making money off that! Can't see the Elf thing myself, but then, I am an old lady! :-)
My friend does the self on the Shelf thing with her kids. One time she sprinkled flour on the counter and put his footprints in it. The elf has woken up in Barbies Dream house. I thought she was creative until I saw the Star Wars tableau.
Received a Christmas card from some really good friends many years ago. It was made from the side of a cereal box, folded in half, Tony the Tiger on the outside.
The verse inside in crayon read: Christmas is here Times are hard So here's your F((*^%^g Christmas card.
The Star Wars figures remind me of my childhood. We used to put Yoda in the manger every year! He got packed away with it so he became a permanent fixture. I will have to remember the happy birthday Jesus wrapping paper idea. Brilliant and great for a laugh!
These are all very funny but I applaud the last one. It's completely spot on, especially belly rubs (and the third one earning you some biting and those frantic rabbit kicks).
As Christmas is a holiday celebrated by Christians and Non-Christians (as non-Christians like the holiday that was the pagan traditions stolen by Christians), I don't find Merry Christmas offensive. Though I do find it insulting when someone tries to make sure that I personally celebrate Christmas. As if they would freak out if I said no.
I actually had a guy in Walmart today come up to me and Daisy and he introduced himself as a preacher. Except he sounded semi-drunk when he talked, and his teeth were yellow as a crayon. He rambled about wanting to know if we were "saved" and me and Daisy just walked away like he didn't exist. It might have been a bit rude on my part on paper but getting into my personal business is something I rarely tolerate. Though I really wanted to tell them him that perhaps he should pray to Jesus to save his teeth.
If I gave my cat all that stuff she'd be a stuffed cat. I did give her a cat Christmas stocking last year. She enjoyed most of it, except for the toys. Garfield never liked toys much either.
As always, I scared my dogs by laughing out loud at your wonderfully ridiculous sharing. The Elf on the Shelf.....gotta show the grands and then we'll play. tee hee
Those elves on shelves creep me out, so I was quite happy to see this one getting toasted. Congrats on Edmonton's Grey Cup win. I shall remember that useful Happy Birthday, Jesus, in case I get in a spot. LOL! Have a good one, Debra!
good ones all! especially that elf; what crap!
ReplyDeletenow in the first cartoon, if the 4th calling bird is from philly, he would simply say YO!

ReplyDeleteI have no idea where you find these from - never come across myself on the internet.

ReplyDeletethe Ol'Buzzard
I enjoyed your Christmas funnies.
ReplyDeleteThat poor Elf on the Shelf! These were all fun, Debra! A great mix of holiday cheer!
ReplyDeleteJulie
LOL! I especially like that last one where the cat wants 2 belly rubs cause on the 3rd he'll bite. Sounds exactly like my daughter's cat.
