A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing his wife, looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off he asked what she'd like to have for her Birthday.

'I'd like to be six again', she replied, still looking in the mirror.

On the morning of her Birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Lucky Charms, and then took her to Six Flags theme park. What a day!

He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster, everything there was.

Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park.

Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down.

He then took her to a McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake.

Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favourite candy, M&M's. What a fabulous adventure!

Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted.

He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, "Well Dear, what was it like being six again?"

Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed. "I meant my dress size, you dweeb!"

It was the day after Christmas. The pastor was walking by the
nativity display when he noticed the baby Jesus was missing from
His cradle. Looking around, he saw off in the distance a little boy
pulling a red wagon with what looked to be a baby inside.

Walking closer, he saw it was the missing infant, so he approached
the boy. "Well, where did you get Him, my fine friend?"

"I got Him from the church."

"And why did you take Him?"

"Well, before Christmas, I prayed to the little Lord Jesus that if
He would bring me a new red wagon for Christmas, I would give Him a
ride around the block in it."
