What Do You Do?
       

      The teacher  asked young Patrick Murphy:  "What do you do at Christmas  time?
       


      Patrick addressed the  class..... "Well Ms. Jones, me and my twelve brothers  and
      sisters go  to 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 Mom 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 our  Rolls Royce; then we drive to dad's  toy
      factory....go inside, and when we look at all  the empty shelves, we begin
      to sing, "What A Friend  We Have In  Jesus."  

       

       
       
       

      "Then we all go  to the Bahamas."
