good try, boy-o

A lump of coal?

“Alright, what did YOU get me this year?”

-PS5.

“REALLY?!”

-No-ho-ho.

If at first you don’t succeed…

You would think that someone as smart as Jason would know the secret about Santa.

When he is asleep, dress him up as a mini-Paige. He did have that dream sequence once. And it would sure mess up his Christmas bugging.

Why doesn’t Santa use the chimney anymore? Claus-trophobia. “Hey, there’s a so such things as a Sanity Clause.”

And the answer is… A NEW JOKE BOOK!

Why is Mrs. Clause so nice to Rudolph? He’s such a deer.

Today’s classic Sunday strip we’re missing:

The one and only thing trump said that was correct in the past four years was when ""Are you still a believer in Santa?" Trump said to a child calling in to the federal government’s official “Santa Tracker,” run by the North American Aerospace Defense Command. “Because at 7, it’s marginal, right?” Trump said.

Very funny, Jason. Here’s my Santapplause.

Surprisingly, I thought the dad jokes would work better on Roger…

Claustrophobia: fear of Santa

Jingle bells, Batman smells

Robin laid an egg

The Batmobile lost a wheel

And the Joker got away, hey

I prefer being surprised. Just no socks, please.

Presents or presence — you figure it out.

That was the worst reverse psychology I’ve ever seen.

Someone is getting predictable.

Some kids just are too impatient to wait for the surprise.

The Trickster.

A dial-up modem.

I so don’t get this…the suspense of not knowing was SO MUCH a part of the fun…why would any kid want to spoil the big reveal of Christmas morning???

I thought the answer to the pirate question was going to be, “Land HO-ho-ho!”

Santa is giving you a present, of course, but if you don’t get out of my presence, someone’s going to be wrapped up-side the head.

Santa will leave the traditional family stocking stuffers. In my youth, that was: An orange (carry over from my MOM’s traditional youth stocking), a tooth brush, some Pez, a bottle of Welch’s grape juice, some choc-gelt, and for the boys, a nice “Dinky” sized vehicle, for the girls some small decorative something: Sox, hair clip, etc.

Gonna be pretty slim pickin’s this year though, here: We aren’t going out and wandering through the store as we usually do in the peri-Thanksgiving time frame so the “oh that’s cute” response hasn’t been triggered…

Hope Santa isn’t reading the comments. This year there’s been a nasty bunch of people. . .

To answer his only serious question: Cue the music – _ “Nuttin’ for Christmas”_

I thought he invested his money in a snowbank.

Then it is a Christmas tradition!

The Legend Of Korra trivia question: Name the main villian of each season

Well, everything else about Christmas is repetitive to the point of inanity – why not Jason’s tactics?
