The great and good Pat Cadigan posts her favorite Christmas story every year (Merry Christmas, Pat!) so I’m going to post my favorite Christmas joke. This year’s version comes from the Straight Dope Message Board: my favorite joke is at the very top, but there are some other great ones in there too.
Mike and I were making a tour of gun stores over the past weekend. We went into the Gun Connection in Taylor (endorsed: this is the kind of funky store that I like) and they were playing this.
My kind of Christmas music.
Merry Christmas, one and all. Special regards to Jimmy McNulty, T Migratorious, Pigpen51, Lawrence, and Borepatch.
And I’m pretty sure I’ve used this song before, but not this version.

Merry Christmas! And of course it’s not Christmas without Robert Earl Keen’s “Merry Christmas from the Family.” They weren’t drinkers, but it still reminded me of my mom’s family’s Christmas gatherings.
