Good morning all ... I hope you're all feeling better ... the last few days seem to have been a trial of illness and discomfort for a lot of you ... makes me feel like a faker. Anyhoo ... todays story is not a real jokette but does have a touch of dry humour ... I hope you like it ......

A woman was out Christmas shopping with her two children. After many hours of looking at row after row of toys and everything imaginable, and hearing both her children asking for everything they saw on those many shelves, this woman finally made it out of the store and to the lift with her two kids.

She was feeling what many of us feel during the holiday season time of the year: Overwhelming pressure to go to every party, every housewarming, taste all the holiday food and treats, get that perfect gift for every single person on our shopping list, make sure we don't forget anyone on our card list, and the pressure of making sure we respond to everyone who sends us a card. Not to mention, getting the kids everything they ask for.

Finally the lift doors opened--there was already a crowd in the lift. The woman pushed her way onto the lift and dragged her two kids in with her, along with all her bags of stuff.

When the doors closed, she let out a big sigh and decided she couldn't take it anymore, saying out loud, to no one in particular,
"Whoever started this whole Christmas thing should be arrested and strung up!"

From the back of the elevator, a quiet calm voice responded,
"Don't worry madam, I believe He was."

Have yourselves a titillating Tuesday[:D]
