Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met

by Saint Peter at the pearly gates.

'In honor of this holy season' Saint Peter

said, 'You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into

heaven.'

The Englishman fumbled through his pockets

and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. 'It's a candle', he said.

'You may pass through the pearly gates'

Saint Peter said.

The Scotsman reached into his pocket and

pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, 'They're bells.'

Saint Peter said 'You may pass through the

pearly gates'.

The Irishman started searching desperately

through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties.

St. Peter looked at the man with a raised

eyebrow and asked, 'And just what do those symbolize?'

The paddy replied, 'These are Carols.'

And So The Christmas Season

Begins......
