HMA’s Holiday Puns
by Ryan Garnett on December 19th, 2016As we head into the final weeks of the year, we know how busy life can be. Between year-end mail outs, donor thank-yous, Christmas parties and shopping lists, there’s a lot to keep your schedules full. That’s why we thought this blog post would be a fun one to help ease the strain that the holidays can sometimes create.
Below you will find HMA’s list of punny Christmas jokes to put a smile on your face. We tried to avoid the overly rude-olph ones, and hopefully you don’t No-el these already. So enjoy, we hope they sleigh you!
