One Christmas Eve, three Irishmen died and approached the Pearly Gates. St.Peter met them and told them to go away and come back the next day, as he was way too busy with Christmas Eve to attend to them right then. They pleaded that they had no place to go and for St. Peter to let them in.

St. Peter said, “OK, if you each can come up with something related to Christmas I’ll let you in.”

The first Irishman takes out his car keys, and shakes them. St. Peter asks what that had to do with Christmas. The Irishman said that it represented the Bells of Christmas. St Peter lets him in.

The second Irishman takes out his keys, but he has one of those little lights on his chain, and turns it on. St. Peter asks what that had to do with Christmas. The Irishman said that it represented the Star of Bethlehem.St Peter lets him in.

The third Irishman reaches into his pocket and pulls out a pair of woman’s gloves, and St Peter asks him what that was all about. The Irishman said:

“They’re Carol’s”
