A man in Scotland calls his son in London the day before Christmas Eve and says, “I hate to ruin your day but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough.”
‘Dad, what are you talking about?’ the son screams.
“We can’t stand the sight of each other any longer” the father says. “We’re sick of each other and I’m sick of talking about this, so you call your sister in Leeds and tell her.”
Frantically, the son calls his sister, who explodes on the phone. “Like hell they’re getting divorced!” she shouts, “I’ll take care of this!”
She calls Scotland immediately, and screams at her father “You are NOT getting divorced. Don’t do a single thing until I get there. I’m calling my brother back, and we’ll both be there tomorrow. Until then, don’t do a thing, DO YOU HEAR ME?” and hangs up.
The old man hangs up his phone and turns to his wife.
‘Aye fine… They’re coming for Christmas – and they’re paying their own way.’

A hotel chain is atoning for the “no room at the inn” story of Christmas by offering couples called Mary and Joseph free accommodation.
Pairs with the right names will get a night’s stay on the house at a Travelodge hotel from Christmas Eve to January 5 2008. Claimants will have to be married and will also have to register on a special email address and then send proof of identity.
Travelodge operations director Jason Cotta said: “The phrase ‘no room at the inn’ is something that resonates with us in the hotel business.
“Therefore this year we have decided to evoke the true spirit of Christmas and invite Mary and Joseph couples as our guests.”
