Snow it doesn’t, go you must
it looks like global warming has melted the snow flakes dear…
“Looks like Rudolph will be guiding the sleigh tonight!”
“Santa, don’t forget your thunderbelt!”
“Come and look at the rain, dear.”
This joke is a play on words involving a homophone – words that sound alike but have different meanings. The key to the humor lies in the double meaning of “rain, dear.” In one sense, “rain” refers to the precipitation falling from the sky during a thunderstorm, and “dear” is a term of endearment. However, when spoken, “rain, dear” sounds exactly like “reindeer,” which are iconic animals associated with Santa Claus and Christmas. Mrs. Claus is ostensibly calling someone to look at the rainfall, but the phrasing makes it sound as if she’s talking about a “reindeer.”
