How To Make a Pun
This contest is open to everyone. Here's a handy dandy guide on how to make a pun: Learn to Pun
Rules for the PUN-test:
- If you hope to win a prize, your pun must be your original work
- Puns must be relevant to the topic of the week to win a prize, but they can be very loosely related.
Last Week's Punday Monday:
Here is last week's Punday Monday, and all the puns that were eligible to win this week are in the comments!
Hang on to your PUNderwear. The Winners of This Week's PUNday Monday Are...

Rookie of the Week:
None
Pocket Choice Awards:
I am of the opinion that there are four responses to creative works one doesn’t like.
- Constructive criticism. Help them get better!
- Useful review. Help audience members know which of them will like and which won’t like this piece.
- Outdo them. Demonstrate to yourself and others what “good” looks like.
- Keep it to yourself.
There is, however, only one way to respond to creative work one DOES like.
- Send them POCKET.
What pun was your favorite?

Christmas! The 25th is Christmas day!
As in,
I finally figured out what to get @stinawog for Christmas. I had been wracking my brain but then I had my immaculate conception. I told her this morning, “I’m going to make it, rein, deer!”
Awesome joke. Nonetheless, I think you can do better.

Perfect!
On Christmas Eve, Santa made a sexual joke about Mrs. Claus' Christmas cookies to Rudolph. Rudolph replied: You sleigh me, Santa.
Do we call boys born from red-headed parents gingerbred men?
I think in the future we should replace our evergreen Christmas trees with mature female cannabis plants. Maybe we could find a different use for that wrapping paper.

Thanks for using POCKET! I am small bot and I am running this confirming code.
It's great to be home for the holidays! I have noticed a new trend in Christmas cards is to include a picture of the whole family on the card. I must admit that I miss the old days in which everyone just sent a card with no pictures. In those days the words inside were not from the sender but we're penned by some anonymous wordsmith at the card company who always knew what to say to put everyone in the Christmas spirit. Nowadays I am more likely to get a wordless card full of unexplained pictures. My favorite type are the beach trip photos. Everyone is dressed up and barefoot with the photo and it is timed just right so that the surf is up on the beach and ruining everyone's cuffs on their pants. Now that is what I call a yuleTIDE greeting. 🎅

I love a good stretch.
I've been rehearsing this weird holiday dance with my local theater group. It's not going so well for me. First of all, the director is a real Nutcracker.
