Bit of snow here!

You'd think the world was ending the way people are reacting to the snow falling outside right now at 9:00 am in La Feria, Texas - woke to temperature of 32.4 degrees and a skiff of snow; now is snowing pretty well.
About 8:30 am today

GROANER’S CORNER:((  There are currently 78 people named S. Claus living in the U.S. And one Kriss Kringle.
- December is the most popular month for nose jobs.
- Weight of Santa's sleigh loaded with one Beanie Baby for every kid on earth: 333,333 tons.  Number of reindeer required to pull a 333,333-ton sleigh: 214,206 -- plus Rudolph.
- Average wage of a mall Santa: $11 an hour.   With real beard: $20.
- To deliver his gifts in one night, Santa would have to make 822.6 visits per second, sleighing at 3,000 times
the speed of sound.  At that speed, Santa and his reindeer would burst into flames
instantaneously.

---------------------------------------------
What do Santa's little helpers learn at school?  The elf-abet!
What do you call a frozen elf hanging from the ceiling?  An elfcicle!
- Which of Santa’s reindeer have to mind their manners most?  Rude-olph!
What do you call Rudolph with lots of snow in his ears?  Anything you want, he can't hear you!
What did Santa ask Rudolph about the weather?  Is it going to rain dear?!
Why did the turkey join the band?  Because it had the drumsticks!
- What do you get when you cross a snowman with a vampire?  Frostbite!
I never believed in Santa Claus because I knew no white dude would come into my neighborhood after dark.
- There is a special place in hell for people that play Christmas music before Thanksgiving.
