Using Holiday Humor Effectively

Christmas jokes have many uses. You can add jokes to your Christmas cards or annual family newsletter. Jokes can be used as icebreaker at your company Christmas party. Your favorite jokes can even be worked into a short comedy skit or play. However, using holiday humor effectively is a skill that takes practice.

The first thing to do when selecting holiday jokes is to consider your audience. Kids won’t understand jokes intended for adults only. On a similar note, jokes that make reference to current pop culture trends may be not be the best choice for a Christmas card you plan to send to your grandparents.

While racist or sexist jokes are never a good idea under any circumstances, these types of jokes are particularly inappropriate during a Christmas celebration. Christmas is a time to celebrate goodwill, not create hard feelings among those who are attending your party.

As a general rule of thumb, it’s a good idea to run your joke choices by a trusted friend before your event. Getting a second opinion is an easy way to save yourself from a potentially embarrassing situation.
