Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly
gates. "In honour of the season," Saint Peter said, "you must each possess
something that symbolises Christmas to get into heaven on this holy day."

The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He
flicked it on. "It represents a holy candle," he said.
"You may pass through the pearly gates," Saint Peter said.

The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He
shook them and said, "They're bells." Saint Peter said,
"You may pass through the pearly gates."

The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally
pulled out a pair of women's panties. "What do these symbolise?"
Saint Peter asked. The man replied, "They're Carols."
