Christmas humor

[bigun]

Christmas is the only time of the year we sit in front of a dead tree eating candy out of our socks.

[hipower]

Really? You don't celebrate the Dead Tree & Candy Sales Day?

 

I though everyone did that.

[bigun]

No I'm a Baptist :shake:

Which means if there's at least 3 of you sitting around, one will try to take up a collection ...

[Handsome Rob]

Wouldn't work.
The other two would be too busy trying to convert me.

You've obviously never been to a Baptist church - they pass the collection plate around at the beginning of the service ...

Yeah, but there is a 50/50 chance that a potluck will occur afterwards.

Yep, they are afraid someone might leave early and they don't want to miss any............................ :hiding:

[Ted S.]

Wait, it's only socially acceptable to do this around Chistmas?

[BJB]

No fried chicken is good ALL the time

Every one I've ever been to does it in middle after all the other singin and stuff is done, during choir's offertory selection, right before the sermon.

Grew up Baptist, can confirm collection plate. Though the potluck was seasonal.

 

The Christmas tree and socks comment reminded me of Jim Gaffigan.

And if there's 4 of us, someone's gettin' saved then baptized.

 

We'll then proceed to invite the whole community over for a pot-luck dinner and a cake-walk.

Are you sure? Don't know some of us that well do you!   :rofl:

[bigun]

Don't pick on us Baptist we have changed a lot in the past few years. We now speak to each other in the likker stores. :wave:

This is no joke, a Baptist church that I went to as a teen used to call members who didn't show up on speaker phone in front of the whole congregation. The would often wish them well, tell them that we missed them, and sometimes ask them to drop a check in the mail. I think they knew about the stereotype and made laughs about it. 

I would go back to that church every time the doors would open if it were the same people there.  It was a great group; even my wife, a life-long Methodist, thought the world of them.
