Countdown to Christmas Lunchbox Cards

What did the turkey eat for Christmas?

Nothing, he was stuffed.

What was your reaction to that? Groan? Smirk? Snicker? Laugh?

Well, no matter WHAT your reaction, there are MORE where that came from. ;)

Today, I’m sharing some Countdown to Christmas lunchbox cards. Print them out this weekend and have them ready to start dropping in your child’s lunchbox or backpack for when they go back to school on Monday.

If your children are home educated like mine, then you can have them waiting on their desk for when they go do their school work in the morning (or afternoon or evening....).

What is the best Christmas present in the world?

A broken drum….it just can’t be beat!

When my kids were in school I made these for them for a few different holidays. They LOVED them. In fact, that was probably four or five years ago and they still have many of the cards – dirty with pencil scratches and crayon smudges because they were thrown in their pencil box for “safe keeping”. I remember them telling me how their classmates would be anxious to see what the card for that day would be.

Most kids have three weeks (15 school days) until they get out for Christmas break but I made 45 different images/jokes or countdown until Christmas. I have some Santa images with jokes and some nativity images with just a countdown of how many days until Christmas on the back so you can decide what you want to give your kiddos. It's good to have several extras too if you have more than one child and want them to have different jokes/images.

I outlined the squares in a light gray so you’ll see where to cut easier – just cut down that line. If you have a paper cutter like I do then it’ll make it quick and painless. (I don’t do scissors very well. I can’t cut a straight line to save my life!)

The odd pages are the images and the even pages are on the text that go on the back of each. For the jokes I tried to pick images that went along with the idea. You’ll see! Hee hee!

Directions: Unless you have a fancy schmancy printer, print page 1, then turn it over and print page 2 so that the jokes go on the back. OR you could print pages 1, 3, 5 and then after those three pages have printed, turn them over and print pages 2, 4, 6. Is that confusing? I hope not! Let me know if you have questions.

Even if you do not have children or children old enough to read then you could use these for your spouse OR even a friend. They will surely have a chuckle (or smirk) upon receiving them.

Do you have any cheesy Christmas jokes like these to share? Some of these really are corny but while I was working on these and my kids (ages 13 and 14) saw them, they still had a few laughs. Hey, I'll even take a groan from my teenagers. Ha ha!
