A Primary School class of nine year olds came back after their Christmas holidays and were all seated in class. As the School was an intergrated school, boys, girls and all different faiths the teacher had an idea that some of the children from different denominations would stand up in class and tell the rest of the pupils how they spent Christmas Day. Seamus the first lad (A Catholic) got up and said "Well miss we got up Christmas morning, wished each other Happy Christmas and opened the presents. We then went to Mass and after that we came home. Mum cooked dinner. We played with our presents while daddy had a few bottles of beer. We then had our dinner which was lovely. Mum washed the dishes and Daddy fell asleep in his chair. Thats how we spent Christmas Day." The second lad William (A Protestant) stood up and said "Well miss we done basically the same. Got up wished each other Happy Christmas. Opened the presents. Went to Church. Came home. Played with our presents. Mum made the Christmas dinner while Dad had a few beers. We had our dinner, again lovely. After that mum washed up and Daddy fell asleep in his chair. Thats how we spent Christmas Day. The third lad Jacob (Of Jewish faith) stood up and said "Well miss we were different. We got up Christmas morning and had breakfast. We then got ready and jumped into Daddy's 560 C Class Mercedes, drove down to his Toy Warehouse and viewed the empty shelves. We then sang "What a Friend we Have in Jesus" drove to the airport and P****d off to the Bahamas for a fortnight.
