A memorable one was when a child made a Christmas card for his teacher. He drew a very distorted Christmas tree with ornaments all over the place. And instead of writing 'Merry Christmas', he wrote 'Happy Tree Day'. The teacher found it so endearing and funny that she kept it for years.
There was this one Christmas card that had a pop - up Santa Claus in it. When the person opened the card, Santa's beard got stuck on the side of the card and it looked like he was trying to escape. It was really funny. The sender had no idea it would turn out that way and it became a great conversation starter during Christmas get - togethers.
There was a family who sent out Christmas cards with their dog's photo on it. By mistake, the dog's tongue was sticking out in a really goofy way. But instead of being embarrassed, they received lots of positive feedback saying it was the funniest Christmas card ever. People loved the dog's silly expression and it became a talking point among their friends and relatives.
Well, sometimes a funny Christmas card can make someone's day. For example, if a person is feeling down during the holidays, receiving a card with a comical picture or a witty message can instantly lift their spirits. It might be a card that has a misprinted holiday pun that turns out to be even funnier than the original intention.
One Christmas card story could be about a family who always sends out handmade cards. Each year they come up with a new design based on their family adventures that year. For example, if they went on a camping trip, the card might have a drawing of their tent and the beautiful scenery around it.
To be honest, it's hard to say for sure. But it's within the realm of possibility that a Christmas card provided that initial spark or inspiration for the story. Maybe a particular image or sentiment on the card sparked the imagination of the writer.
At a family card game night, my cousin tried to peek at my uncle's cards. Just as he was about to get a good look, my aunt walked by and accidentally hit his head with a pillow. He jumped up in surprise and all the cards on the table scattered, exposing his cheating attempt. It was quite a sight.
I'm not sure if it's extremely popular. It might be popular among those who like mystery or crime short story collections, but it may not have mass - market popularity like some best - selling novels.
One funny religious Christmas story is about a small church's nativity play. The little boy playing Joseph got so excited that he started ad - libbing lines. Instead of the traditional 'We seek shelter for the night,' he said, 'Hey, innkeeper, we need a room for my baby mama!' Everyone in the church burst out laughing, but it also added a touch of humor to the story of Jesus' birth. It shows that even in the solemn context of religious Christmas stories, there can be light - hearted and unexpected moments.
