In church, on Christmas Eve...
Pastor is reading from Luke 2: 1-20, the story of the birth of Jesus, which includes this passage:
11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. 12This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
Aila: Mom, mom, that's from Charlie Brown*!
Insert raucous laughter from A-L and Sister Maria.
*A Charlie Brown Christmas

Car Talk with Irma, Aila & Annais
Almost as funny as Car Talk, are the telephone conversations Irma has with Aila and Annais when they're in the car on the way home from day care.
Irma: Hi Aila, how are you?
Aila: Hi Momma, I'm fine.
Irma: Did you have a good day?
Aila: Yes, I had fun at Gloria's house. We sang songs.
Irma: What did you sing?
Aila: "Away in a Manger"
And then she sang Irma the first verse of "Away in a Manger", paused, and said, "You know Momma, it's a very long song."
Irma: Hi Aila, how are you?
Aila: Hi Momma, I'm fine.
Irma: Did you have a good day?
Aila: Yes, I had fun at Gloria's house. We sang songs.
Irma: What did you sing?
Aila: "Away in a Manger"
And then she sang Irma the first verse of "Away in a Manger", paused, and said, "You know Momma, it's a very long song."

Carry On
A-L: Hello.
Pete: Can you fit a snowsuit in your carry-on luggage?
A-L: Who is this?
Pete: It's your mother's boyfriend, the grandfather of the butternut squash.
A-L: Oh, my travel agent. How are ya, Pete?
Pete: Good, but answer the question. Can you fit a snowsuit in your carry-on luggage?
A-L: For what? Am I doing stand-up in business class?
Pete: No, you might need in it Newark, especially if you're spending Christmas there.
A-L: Why have you booked me through Newark? And who in New Jersey has invited me over for Christmas dinner?
Pete: Well, if you'll recall, you booked yourself through Newark. You know I'D never put you on Continental. And there are snowstorms scheduled for Newark.
A-L: I know, it was another rookie move booking a return flight through Newark in December. I'm sure it'll be fine though.
Pete: Did Irma tell you you only have an hour to change flights? She's worried you'll end up staying in New Jersey.
A-L: Forever? Do we have any cousins there?
Pete: Let me check. Hang on, Irma wants to speak to you.
Irma: Hi, A-L. Have you seen the news? They're expecting snowstorms in New Jersey right when you're landing. And you only have an hour to change planes. I hope you make it home for Christmas. It would be terrible if you got stuck in New Jersey.
