Hager Construction took the second quarter on the Town and Country league with a 6-point margin over 2nd place Booz Bar & Grill out of Knapp. On the Hometown league, the M&M Men’s team chalked up top honors for the second quarter. Last week I reported that “Knoxtrod” took the half on the Saturday Nite Mixed league. I was mistaken as there was actually a tie between “Knoxtrod” and “DLong-Winky”. They will have to have a roll-off to see who comes out on top!!
We have approximately 20 teams signed up for our Christmas Tournament starting next week. Should be a fun tournament.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!

Early Christmas Shopping
It was just before Christmas and the judge was in a happy mood. He asked the prisoner before his bench, “What are you charged with?”
The prisoner repiled, “Doing my Christmas shopping too early.”
“That’s no crime,” the judge said. “Just how early were you doing this shopping?”
The prisoner answered, “Before the shop opened.”
The Angel Atop The Christmas Tree
When four of Santa’s elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre- Christmas pressure.
Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more.
When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where.
Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drunk all the cider and hidden the liquor. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom.
Just then the doorbell rang, and an irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.
The angel said very cheerfully, ‘Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn’t this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?’
And thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.
