Three men pass away on Christmas Day

Three men pass away on Christmas Day and arrive at the pearly gates.

Saint Peter greets them and says, “You’re all sinners who should be sent to hell, but since it’s Christmas, I’ll give you a chance to enter heaven if you have something that represents the holiday.”

The first man pulls out a Christmas ornament and is allowed in.

The second man points to some pine needles stuck to his shirt and is also admitted.

The third man reaches into his pocket and pulls out a pair of panties.

Peter, puzzled, asks, “How do those represent Christmas?”

The man grins and replies, “These are Carol’s.”
