When is A'phabet Day Or No 'l' Day?
Monday December 25thOn December 25th, A'Phabet Day, or No L Day, brings a pun to Christmas Day. The play on words is a play on the word No.l, which is especially noticeable during Christmas because it means to be born.
Many deride the pun. Some people celebrate it. Others celebrate it. This day is for the punsters. Shakespeare and O. Henry (there's an annual competition in his name) performed with meanings of words to the audiences' utter delight. Puns mean fun for all ages, whether you're converting Woven into a complex double entendre or the simple knock-knock joke. They make PG movies enjoyable for adults, while shooting slightly off-color humor over children's heads for the parent's or older sibling's pleasure.
Many newspaper writers intentionally (or intentionally) create puns that provoke outrage among those who would otherwise only find them punny.
Clever children are learning how to amuse their friends and family.
