Christmas Jokes that are Actually Funny

- 3 December 2016

Tis the season for Christmas parties and with these parties comes a lot of meet-and-greet situations.

These are funny for the other drunk guests, but inevitably leads to some post-party regrets (and perhaps an exciting new adventure into the world of unemployment).
