What We Do at Christmas

[ringadingh]

Ms. Jones, a teacher, was very curious about how each of her students celebrated Christmas. She called on young Patrick Murphy."Tell me, Patrick, what do you do at Christmastime?" she asked.

Patrick addressed the class, "Well, Ms. Jones, me and my twelve brothers and sisters go to the midnight Mass and we sing hymns, then we come home and put mince pies by the back door and hang up our stockings. Then, all excited, we go to bed and wait for Father Christmas to come with all our toys,"

"Very nice, Patrick," she said. "Now, Jimmy Brown, what do you do at Christmas?"

"Well, Ms. Jones, me and my sister also go to Church with Mum and Dad, and we sing carols and we get home ever so late. We put cookies and milk by the chimney and we hang up our stockings. We hardly sleep, waiting for Santa Claus to bring our presents."

Realizing there was a Jewish boy in the class and not wanting to leave him out of the discussion, Ms. Jones asked, "What do you do at Christmas, Isaac Cohen?"

Isaac said, "Vell, it's the same ting every year. Fadder comes home from the office. Ve all pile into the Rolls Royce, then Ve drive to his toy factory. when Ve get inside, Ve look at all the empty shelves and sing 'Oy a wonderful Friend We Have in Jesus.' Then Ve all go to the Bahamas ." Oy
