Goat humour for Christmas

Howard Lake | 5 January 2009 | Blogs

My favourite Christmas card this year was unusually not a charity card. But it did have a charity theme, and made me laugh.

Under the headline ‘Christmas’ two pen and ink characters talk. “D’you get any good presents?” asks one.

The other replies: “Yeah, me Aunty Jean got me a goat, but they delivered it to somewhere in Africa… unbelievable”.

I reckon that would sit very well in quite a few charities’ Christmas card catalogues. Anyone brave enough for some gentle self-mockery?

If you’re interested, it came from

although, since it was published in 2006, it’s not listed on their site.
