TEST TO SEE IF YOU’RE A GRINCH

~ You reuse last year’s Christmas cards and send them out under your own name. (5 points)

~ You steal light bulbs from you neighbor’s outdoor display to replenish your own supply. (5 points; 10 if neighbor’s whole light sets or lighted Santa goes out) 

~ You have dressed a dog or cat as Santa Claus, elf helper, or reindeer. (10 points for each; if you dressed an endangered species, 5 extra points)

~ You put out last year’s stale candy canes for children. (1 point for each piece of sticky candy; if you also put out a chocolate or marzipan Santa, add 10 points) 

~ You enclose a shoddy and inferior gift from Target or Walmart in a Macy’s box to impress your friends. (5 points for each infraction)

~ At the office Christmas party, you horde huge stockpiles of goodies for later consumption at home. (5 points; 15 points if you use this stuff for your own party)

~ You steal the wreath from a parked car to use on your own. (Southern California & Florida only, others ignore: 5 points)

~ Taking toys from the Toys-for-Tots collection bins is a definite no-no. (20 points)

Evaluate your score on the “Grinch Scale” from 20 to 100:

20-30: You’re just a cheeseball. 

30-50: You’re an apprentice in Yuletide larceny and are probably wanted for overdue parking tickets. 

50-100: Grinch, move over!

What to my wondering eyes should appear, but 10 extra pounds on my hips, thighs, and rear.

A college student finished his first semester away from Mom’s cooking and was home on break. Having heard little from her son but complaints about the wretched cafeteria food, Mom decided to make her son’s favorite breakfast, Eggs Benedict. 

Lured to the kitchen by the wonderful smell, the young man sat down and began to enjoy the first bites of Mom’s delicious meal. 

When he finished he looked at his mother with a satisfied smile and said, “You know it’s true what they say, there’s no place like home for the Hollandaise.”

A father and his son were looking at a nativity scene in a London gallery. It was Titian’s world-famous painting of the scene at Bethlehem. The boy said, “Dad, why is the baby lying in such a crude cradle in a pile of straw?”

“Well, son,” explained the father, “they were poor, and they couldn’t afford anything better.” 

Said the boy, “Then how could they afford to have their picture painted by such an expensive artist?”
