Funny Christmas Stories to Share with Your Loved Ones

Christmas is a time of goodwill, good cheer and good times with family

and friends. Christmas songs are sung, Christmas dishes and desserts

are shared, and Christmas decorations are put up in advance of

Christmas Day. Well, why stop there when you can also share funny

Christmas stories with family and friends gathered in the family home?



Think of these Christmas-themed funny short stories as your family's

new tradition for the holidays and, thus, add more fun, more laughter

and more levity to the special occasion. While gathered around the

dining table on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day, a few selected

members of the group will tell humorous short stories about Santa

Claus and his elves, angels and shepherds, and even about the

experiences of family and friends during Christmas.



With these funny Christmas stories, a few rules must be observed so

that everybody can enjoy the tall tales. Keep in mind that Christmas

is supposed to be a happy occasion so it is important to respect other

people's sensibilities especially about the beloved Christmas

characters. For example, the funny short stories must not touch on

sexual subjects since kids are around – perhaps, these kinds of jokes

can be saved for when the kids are asleep.



It is also important to remember that Christmas is also a special

religious occasion for many Christians. You will want to avoid making

fun of certain religious symbols and icons (i.e., crosses, saints and

Christ) unless you are absolutely sure that everybody within earshot

of your irreverent funny Christmas stories sees these tales as just

that – jokes that are designed to elicit laughter, not raise hackles.

Otherwise, just avoid telling these tales to preserve the peace and

goodwill of the season.



What are the benefits of sharing funny Christmas stories, you may ask?

After all, there are already songs and dances, food and drinks, and

other traditions that make Christmas fun so there seems to be no need

to add more to the season. Well, shared laughter strengthens

relationships among parents and their children, among friends and

acquaintances, and among husbands and wives – and isn't Christmas all

about strengthening the family and the community? So, share your funny

Christmas-themed stories at the dinner table and watch how love, peace

and goodwill flow among family and friends.
