Norman Rockwell 1919
I have a confession to make: I don’t like Christmas crackers. I don’t like the loud noise, I don’t like the paper hats and I don’t like the usually gimcrack toys. BUT I do love puns and jokes, good, bad, in-between. So here are some Christmas quips and winter witticisms for you now, provided in a quiet voice, with no sartorial requirements or plastic tat. Writers and readers, one and all, let’s play with/on words!
