Okay, so you may have noticed that the numbering for this one is out of order, don’t worry, you’ll get #2494 tomorrow. That’s because I’m throwing this one together as a special gift to me.  I have the time. Today is December 23, 2025 and tomorrow is a special day for me. Well … kind of a special day for me.  

Tomorrow is my birthday.  Yup, Christmas Eve baby.

It sucks.

Your birthday always gets lost in the hustle and bustle of Christmas. 

I didn’t really care.  When I was growing up it was no big deal and then it was a big deal because I asked Mary to marry me on Christmas Eve … on my birthday and consequently, she made it a big deal for me every year thereafter.

So, I’m giving myself a birthday present. I’m creating a special, regular Dragon Laffs issue that has nothing to do with Christmas, so we can all laugh together for my birthday. So …

Extraordinarily wise words! Another one of those things as a writer that goes under the category of, “Gee, I wish I had said that!”

 

 

Someone has stated that the three phrases that best sum up the Christmas season are: “Peace on Earth”, “Goodwill to Men” and “Batteries not included.”

WOW!  Just WOW!

 

Love     That     Smell!!!

 

Yes, this is technically true, it’s not what you think. The Danish postal service, aka PostNord, is ending its traditional letter service, BUT it is being picked up by a contractor. That’s because traditional letter service has declined by 90% because most people use what seems to be a state sponsored email type thing.  Interesting, but not what the headline would have you believe.

 

 

This is actually such wonderful advice.  I’d like to give you a couple of examples that leap to mind…

Zacharias and Elisabeth prayed for a child into the old age and never had one. Then God decided, when they were well passed the age of conception to give them John the Baptist.  God’s plan.

It took over 700 years for Isaiah’s prophesy of Mary’s virgin birth to come to fruition. 

That’s just two that immediately come to mind.  Don’t get upset when things don’t go your way … If you are in tune with God, you understand that EVERYTHING is part of His plan. 

E V E R Y T H I N G

The key being, if you are in tune with God. Which means, that you are faithful and true. In other words, you do your part, He will do His.

As a little girl climbed onto Santa’s lap, Santa asked the usual, “And what would you like for Christmas?”

The child stared at him open mouthed and horrified for a minute, then gasped: “Didn’t you get my E-mail?” 

Just got this from Aussie Pete:

 

Thank you Pete, my friend.

Holy cow! I think I might slowly be turning into a Giraffe!!!

 

 

What’s one of the dumbest beliefs you had as a kid?

When I was 4-5 I swore that bird seeds grew birds, thus the name. When my parents asked me to prove it to them, I planted a pile of bird seeds.

The next day, there were loads of birds where I planted the seeds, showing I was right.

Got it!

The word “nun” is just the letter “n” doing a cartwheel.

And I can even do it for you…

 

 

That’s actually such a sad picture.

 

 

Self-checkout should include an employee discount.

 

 

When I ask for directions, please don’t use words like “East”.

 

 

Yeah…so…I have almost those exact same buttons. Mine are nuclear tipped missiles though.

Instead of “HAVE A NICE DAY” I think I’ll start saying “HAVE THE DAY YOU DESERVE”, you know, let karma sort that crap out.

 

 

I’m starting meetings at my house for people who have OCD. I don’t have it, I’m just hoping they’ll  take one look around and start cleaning.

And that’s it my friends. My birthday issue…full of issues, so it’s appropriate.  So many, many issues left out of this issue. 

But, that’s okay.

I spent the time with you, my friends and family.

My love to you all. May God bless you all.
