A good - read funny story often has relatable characters. If you can see a bit of yourself or someone you know in the characters, it makes it more engaging. For example, in 'The Princess Bride', the characters like Westley and Inigo Montoya are so well - drawn that their humorous interactions feel real.
'Ghost Squad' is a wonderful book. It follows a group of kids who can see ghosts. The ghosts in this story are not all spooky.

There are also some ghosts who are just bad at being scary and end up doing things that are more funny than frightening, like getting stuck in a revolving door. It's a great read for those who like funny good ghost stories.
One Christmas, the Christmas tree in the town square was decorated in a very strange way. The ornaments were all mixed up - big ones on the bottom and small ones on the top. A little bird flew into the tree thinking it was a very odd forest. It started chirping loudly as if to say 'What is this mess?'. The people around the square were amused by the bird's reaction and it became a really funny start to their Christmas day.
Once upon a Xmas, Santa was so tired from all the present - making that he accidentally put his boots on his hands and his gloves on his feet.

To tell a good funny story, think of something unique and relatable. Make the characters come alive with funny traits. And don't forget a punchline that leaves everyone in stitches.
