"Johnny's Letter to Baby Jesus" joke

Little Johnny is told by his mother that he has been VERY bad this year.

"What?! Nothing for Christmas?" cried little Johnny.

"Well," said Mum, "maybe if you write a letter to baby Jesus and tell him how sorry you are, Santa will bring you some presents."

With each attempt at writing, he would first apologise and then promise to be good for a certain amount of time. Each letter was crumpled up and started over again, making the "be good" time shorter with each letter.

Finally, in frustration he gave up and then was struck by a bolt of inspiration!

Running to the living room he carefully removed the little Mother Mary figure from the family's manger scene and carefully wrapped it in a sock, placing it in his top drawer.

Returning to his desk, he took out a piece of paper and began to write:

"Dear Baby Jesus, if you ever want to see your Mother again. .."
