Christmas season is just around the corner and you know what time it is. United States, time to take a step back from the title of the world’s factory and let Santa and his elves claim what is rightfully theirs. Like Christmas products on the stores’ shelves, elf jokes are beginning to appear on the internet. The elf joke is the classic joke of Christmas. It’s their time to shine and no one can stop them from being said and spread, and you should be prepared. But with so many other jokes to choose from, why are funny elf jokes so amusing and only really used during the Christmas season?
Now, when we’re talking about elves, we’re not talking about World of Warcraft or Lord Of The Rings elves. They aren’t tall or beautiful. The elves we’re talking about here are the heroes of Santa’s workshops that dot the cold regions. Working only for sweets and nice words, one can think of many elf puns. Small and colorful, Christmas elf jokes are the perfect jokes to share around the dinner table on Christmas Eve. They are simple and classy and, like the Home Alone series being shown every winter season, they don’t get boring on Christmas.
So, if you can’t contain your excitement for the gingerbread cookie season and can’t wait for those toys to appear under your Christmas tree, we’ve got some funny Christmas elf jokes to help with your Christmas addiction. Christmas songs and memes can pass the time, but only funny jokes can truly crack a smile on your face. If you’re going to a family gathering, you are sure to find some kids there. So to prepare you for hours of speaking over a cooked dinner, we compiled a list of good jokes below (we even threw in some elf jokes for kids to keep them entertained). Upvote the jokes that made you smile and maybe even giggle. Also, comment below if you know a different version of the same joke!
