Susan,

   Our holiday band (The Bittersweet Christmas Band) is just winding down a busy December. These are no doubt things you've seen/heard before but always good:

What do you call Santa's little helpers?

Subordinate Clauses!

Why are Santa's helpers always going to the psychiatrist's?

Low Elf-esteem!

What goes ho, ho, ho, thud?

Santa laughing his head off!

Also, think of Da Yoopers song "One Day After Christmas" with the great line in the chorus: "I love the decorations and the sleighbells and the snow, But I wish those pesky relatives, would take their kids and go." (To a nice do-wop harmony).

Merry Christmas.
