Why Make Your Happy Christmas Greetings Funny?

Let’s face it, the traditional “Happy Christmas” can feel a little… bland. It’s like the plain sugar cookie of holiday wishes. Good, but not memorable. Adding a sprinkle of humor is like frosting that cookie and throwing on some glitter sprinkles—suddenly, it’s a showstopper.
