The ole box joke

Here's a little glimpse into my side of the family's Christmas.
The Misner's are known for their corny jokes.
It goes all the way back to my mom and dad.
:)
The corny jokes are never more prevalent than they are at Christmas.
Let me give you an example...
Person is given a present to open.
Present is in a box wrapped in pretty Christmas paper.
Person tears into the paper and then raves about the box:
"Oh my gosh, a box! Sweet! It is what I have always wanted!
Thank you so much!"
Then person suavely puts the box down and waits for the next person to open their present all the while anticipating the loads of laughter they will get from their clever joke.
But the joke doesn't end there.
Where is the fun in that??
The next time the person gets a present, he will rave about the brown box he opens that matches the white box he opened the present before.
And around and around the corny jokes go.
Year after year.
Brother David is king of the box joke.
{All supplies-patterned paper, glitter alphas,
chipboard embellies, ribbon are KI Memories}
But we totally got him last year when we actually wrapped up a box inside a larger box.
Total burn!!!!!
Don't worry, that did not stop the box joke from returning this year!
Hope you had a Merry Christmas!
