During the pandemic, many families have decided not to visit each other for the
holidays. Public health leaders have recommended people celebrate at home with
only their household members. This might make you and others in your family sad.
And for many families, money is tight right now and it’s hard to buy presents.
There is a gift that can cheer people up and you can give it without spending money!
Simply share the silly jokes on this page and give your loved ones the gift of laughter!
