Ron Grunig sent us this one:
As a teacher, Ms. Jones, was very curious about how each of her
students celebrated Christmas. She called on young Patrick Murphy.
"Tell me Patrick what do you do at
Christmas time?" she asked.

Patrick addressed the class, "Well Ms. Jones, me and my twelve brothers
and sisters go to the midnight Mass and we sing hymns, then we come
home very late and we put
mince pies by the back door and hang up our stockings. Then all excited
we go to bed and wait for Father Christmas to come with all our toys."

"Very nice Patrick," she said. "Now Jimmy Brown what do you do at
Christmas?"
"Well, Ms. Jones, me and my sister also go to Church with Mum and Dad
and we sing carols and we get home ever so late. We put cookies and
milk by the chimney and we
hang up our stockings. We hardly sleep, waiting for Santa Claus to
bring our presents."

Realizing there was a Jewish boy in the class and not wanting to leave
him out of the discussion, she asked, "Now, Isaac Cohen, what do you do at Christmas?"

Isaac said, "Well, it's the same thing every year. Dad comes home from
the office. We all pile into the Rolls Royce, and then we drive to his toy
factory. When we get inside, we look at all the empty shelves and begin
to sing 'What a Friend We Have in Jesus,' then we all go to the
Bahamas."
