Christmas Quickies
"Santa's Lap"
As a little girl climbed onto Santa's lap, Santa asked the usual, "And what would you like for Christmas ?"
The child stared at him open mouthed and horrified for a minute, then gasped: "Didn't you get my E-mail?"

"The Nativity Scene"
A 7-year old child was drawing a picture of the Nativity. The picture was very good, including Mary, Joseph and, of course, baby Jesus.
However, there was a fat man standing in the corner of the stable, that just did not seem to fit in. When the child was asked about it, she replied, "Oh, That's Round John Virgin."

"The Lost Purse"
A lady lost her handbag in the bustle of Christmas shopping. It was found by an honest little boy and returned to her. Looking in her purse, she commented, "Hmmm.... That's funny. When I lost my bag there was a $20 bill in it. Now there are twenty $1 bills."
The boy quickly replied, "That's right, lady. The last time I found a lady's purse, she didn't have any change for a reward."
