The Wool 

Submitted by Thomas Hill 

One Christmas, Joe 

and Peter built a skating 

rink in the middle 

of a field. A shepherd 

leading his flock decided 

to take a shortcut 

across the rink. 

The sheep, however, 

were afraid of the ice 

and wouldn’t cross it. 

Desperate, the shepherd 

began tugging 

them to the other side. 

“Look at that,” remarked 

Peter to Joe, 

“That guy is trying to 

pull the wool over our 

ice!”

Door Matinee* 



Dozens of performers will sing, dance, act, and create an energetic Christmas show complete 

with an immersive light show produced by Jake Hodgkin. The overall emphasis is to give 

the feeling of an old-fashioned Christmas. If you are looking to get in the holiday spirit, 

don’t miss this show! *The matinee’s light show and projections will not have the full effect 

due to the fact that the Franco Center’s Performance Hall cannot be darkened during the day.

My mother, a master 

of guilt trips, showed 

me a photo of herself 

waiting by a phone 

that never rings. 

“Mom, I call all the 

time,” I said. “If you 

had voicemail, you’d 

know.” 

"Soon after, my brother 

installed it for her." 

When I called the 

next time, I got her 

message: “If you are 

a salesperson, press 

one." 

"If you’re a friend, 

press two." 

"If you’re my son who 

never calls, press 911 

because the shock will 

probably give me a 

heart attack.” 

Dear Santa, I'm writing to let you know I was naughty and it was worth it!

Mr. Yankees 

Submitted by Pam Ashby 

A Red Sox fan walks 

into a Boston pub and 

spots a guy wearing 

a New York Yankees 

cap. “Drinks for everyone 

here, bartender!” 

shouts the Red Sox 

fan. “Except for 

Mr. Yankees!” 

The Yankees fan 

smiles and says, 

“Thank you!” 

Infuriated, the Red 

Sox fan orders another 

round of drinks for 

everyone except Mr. 

Yankees, who, again, 

thanks the man. This 

goes on for a while, 

until Mr. Red Sox asks 

the bartender, “What’s 

the matter with that 

guy? I’ve ordered 

rounds of drinks for 

everyone but him, and 

all he does is thank 

me. Is he nuts?” 

“No, he’s not nuts,” 

says the bartender. 

“He owns the place.”

A Car For 

Christmas 


Danny had recently 

passed his driving test 

and decided to ask 

his clergyman father if 

there was any chance 

of him getting a car 

for Christmas, which 

was yet some months 

away. “Okay.” said his 

father “I tell you what 

I’ll do. If you can get 

your ‘C’ level grades 

up to ‘A’s and ‘B’s, 

study your bible and 

get your hair cut, I’ll 

consider the matter 

very seriously.” 

A couple of months 

later Danny went back 

to his father who said 

“I’m really impressed 

by your commitment 

to your studies. Your 

grades are excellent 

and the work you have 

put into your bible 

studies is very encouraging. 

However, 

I have to say I’m very 

disappointed that you 

haven’t had your hair 

cut yet.” 

Danny was a smart 

young man who was 

never lost for an 

answer. 

“Look dad. In the 

course of my bible 

studies I’ve noticed in 

the illustrations that 

Moses, John the Baptist, 

Samson and even 

Jesus had long hair.” 

“Yes. I’m aware of 

that...” replied his 

father “... but did 

you also notice they 

walked wherever they 

went?”

Loud Prayers 


Just before Christmas, 

two brothers were 

spending the night at 

their Grandma’s house. 

At bed time, they knelt 

down to say their 

prayers. 

As they closed their 

eyes, one boy said in a 

loud voice, “Dear Lord, 

please ask Santa Claus 

to bring me a Playstation 

5, a telescope and 

a new bike.” 

His older brother said, 

“Why are you shouting? 

God isn’t deaf.” 

“I know,” said his brother, 

“but Grandma is.” 

Reindeer 

Games 


According to the 

Alaska Department of 

Fish and Game, while 

both male and female 

reindeer grow antlers in 

the summer each year, 

male reindeer drop their 

antlers at the beginning 

of winter, usually late 

November to mid-December. 

Female reindeer retain 

their antlers till after 

they give birth in the 

spring. Therefore, 

according to EVERY 

historical rendition depicting 

Santa’s reindeer, 

EVERY single one of 

them, from Rudolph to 

Blitzen, had to be a girl. 

We should have 

known... ONLY women 

would be able to drag a 

fat man in a red velvet 

suit all around the world 

in one night and not get 

lost. 

I didn’t fall. The floor just needed a hug. 



Winter the least popular time of year for a wedding because 

the grooms always get cold feet!

Satisfaction 


Even with a thousand

find a thing for her 

grandson. 

“Maybe a video or 

something educational?” 

I asked. 

“No, that’s not it,” she 

said. 

We wandered the 

aisles until something 

caught her eye, a laser 

gun with flashing lights 

and 15 different highpitched 

sounds. 

“This is perfect,” she 

said, beaming. “My 

daughter-in-law will 

hate it.”

Directions 


On the Sunday before 

Christmas the Reverend 

was walking down 

the street on his way 

to see a parishioner. 

However, he wanted to 

post a parcel urgently 

so he asked a young 

boy, Todd, where he 

could find the post 

office. 

When Todd had directed 

him, the Reverend 

thanked him and said, 

“If you’ll come to the 

Church this evening, 

you can hear me telling 

everyone how to 

get to heaven.” 

Todd replied, “I think 

I’ll give your sermon a 

pass. If you don’t even 

know your way to the 

post office, how will 

you lead me to heaven?” 

Out and About at the Exchange Club 

The Wool 


One Christmas, Joe 

and Peter built a skating 

rink in the middle 

of a field. A shepherd 

leading his flock decided 

to take a shortcut 

across the rink. 

The sheep, however, 

were afraid of the ice 

and wouldn’t cross it. 

Desperate, the shepherd 

began tugging 

them to the other side. 

Connor Cyr (St. Doms), Tim Rucker, Gabriel Thomas (LHS), & Micah Joler (ELHS) 

“Look at that,” remarked 

Peter to Joe, 

“That guy is trying to 

pull the wool over our 

ice!” 

All I need are Christmas movies, pajama pants, and cookies.

The Last 

Reindeer 


A reindeer walked into 

a pub, strolled up to 

the bar and ordered a 

pint of lager. 

Completely unphased, 

the barman poured out 

the lager and passed 

it to the reindeer, who 

handed over a 20 

dollar bill. 

As he handed over 

the change of a few 

coins, the barman said 

“I have to say, you’re 

first reindeer I’ve seen 

in here.” 

The reindeer studied 

the change very 

carefully and said. “Tell 

you what sunshine, at 

these prices I’m also 

the last reindeer you’re 

going to see in here.”

Service? 


It was a cold and misty 

Christmas morning 

in the very depth of 

winter after a heavy 

snowfall and only 

Farmer Evans and 

the Reverend Joseph 

Lancaster managed to 

arrive at the church for 

the morning service. 

“Well,” said Reverend 

Joseph, “I guess 

there’s no point in having 

a service today.” 

“Well that’s not how 

I see it.” said Farmer 

Evans smartly. “If only 

one cow turns up at 

feeding time, I still 

feed it.” 

All hope is not frost.

“Merry Christmas to 

you, Mary Christmas.” 

That’s what the former 

Mary Young will be 

hearing this holiday 

season, after she married 

Brian Christmas 

recently. 

“It was meant to be,” 

Mary Christmas told her 

local newspaper. “God 

has a sense of humor. 

What are the chances 

that it would ever happen?” 

She has found, 

however, that she is not 

alone. 

Mary Christmas has 

been working at Ancestry.com 

for three years 

and discovered there 

are as many as 100 

other Mary Christmas’ 

in the United States. 

“The last name of 

Christmas has its 

origins in Wales,” she 

said, “It was given to 

people that were born 

on Christmas Day.”

A Promise 


It was the day after 

Christmas at St. Peter 

and St. Paul’s church 

in Borden, Kent, 

England. Father John 

was looking at the 

nativity scene outside 

when he noticed the 

baby Jesus was missing 

from the figures. 

Immediately, Father 

John’s thoughts turned 

to calling in the local 

policeman, but as he 

was about to do so, he 

saw little Nathan with 

a red wagon. In the 

wagon, was the figure 

of the little infant, 

Jesus. 

Father John approached 

Nathan 

and asked him, “Well, 

Nathan, where did you 

get the little infant?” 

Nathan looked up, 

smiled and replied, 

“I took him from the 

church.”

ADVERTISERS 

YOU SAW THEIR 

AD IN THE 

DIGEST! 

Father John then 

asked, “And why did 

you take him?” 

With a sheepish grin, 

Nathan answered, 

“Well, Father John, 

about a week before 

Christmas I prayed to 

Lord Jesus. I told him 

if he would bring me a 

red wagon for Christmas, 

I promised to 

give him a ride around 

the block in it.” 

Dear Santa, just leave your credit card under the tree. 



What I don't like about Christmas parties is looking for a new job the next day.

Dreams 


Jenna was taking 

an afternoon nap on 

Christmas Eve before 

the festivities. 

After she woke up, 

she confided to Max, 

her boyfriend, “I just 

dreamed that you gave 

me a diamond ring for 

a Christmas present. 

What do you think that 

means?” 

“Aha, you’ll know 

tomorrow,” answered 

Max smiling broadly. 

Getting old is tough. In my mind I'm 28 but my body says I'm senile.

On Christmas morning 

Max approached

her small package. 

Delighted and excited 

she opened it quickly. 

There in her hand rested 

a book entitled: The 

Meaning of Dreams.

Remember not to leave a fire burning in your fireplace this Christmas Eve, 

or else you might wake up to a Crisp Kringle.

My favorite part of winter is watching it on TV from Florida.
