Santa is a Farmer

Should I have told this joke? This is how I opened my sermon yesterday. I try to use humor, but maybe this was not an appropriate introduction to a sermon entitled "The Gift of Peace.

Well, you decide.

Did you know that Santa is a farmer? Well, of course he is. Everywhere he goes he yells "Hoe, Hoe, Hoe!"

Laughter erupted. Now that I hear it...that's way too corny. I try.
