Valentine’s Day is coming. What kind of chocolate are you?

What 4-8 year-old children said about love:

“Love is when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on
shaving cologne and they go out and smell each other.”

“Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of
your French fries without making them give you any of
theirs.”

“Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you
don’t yell at him because you know it would hurt his
feelings.”

“Love is when mommy sees daddy smelly and sweaty and still
says he is handsomer than Robert Redbird.”

“When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and
little stars come out of you.”

“You can break love, but it won’t die.”

“Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired
of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more.
My mommy and my daddy are like that. They look gross when
they kiss.”

“When my grandma got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and
paint her toe nails anymore. So my grandpa does it for her
now all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too.
That’s love.”

“When someone loves you, the way they say your name is
different. You just know that your name is safe in their
mouths.”

“My mommy loves me more than anybody. You don’t see
anyone else kissing me to sleep at night.”

“Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left
him alone all day.”

“You really shouldn’t say “I love you” unless you mean it.
But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.

And the winner: a 4 year-old child whose next door neighbor
was an elderly man who had just lost his wife. When the
child saw the man cry, the little boy went over into the
man’s yard and climbed on top of the man’s lap and just sat
there. When the boy’s mother asked him what he’d said to the
neighbor, the little boy said, “Nothing, I just helped him
cry.”

It’s getting close to Christmas, so I thought I’d repost this so you could enjoy it.

Did you ever wonder why Santa’s marketing works better than
yours? Practically everyone in the world knows who Santa
is. Does everyone know who you are? I didn’t think so!
Maybe you should take some lessons from Santa.

My friend, Sean D’Souza from Auckland, New Zealand, has
given me permission to give you his whitepaper, “Ho! Ho!
Ho! Why Santa’s Marketing Works Better Than Yours!” I think
you’ll enjoy it, and feel free to pass it on to your
friends and clients.

A little Christmas humor…

A blonde goes to the post office to buy stamps
for her Christmas cards.
She says to the clerk, “May I have 50
Christmas stamps?”
The clerk says, “What denomination?”
The blonde says, “God help us. Has it come to
this? Give me:
6 Catholic, 12 Presbyterian, 10 Lutheran, 12
Baptist and 10 Nazarene!”

A man was walking home alone late one foggy night,

when behind him he hears:

BUMP…
