A five year old boy had only one line to remember in a church Christmas pageant.

Appearing in angel's garb, he was to say to the audience, "Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy! After practice, the little lad asked his mother, "What in the world does "tidings" mean, Mom?" She explained that it just meant "good news".

At the performance, momentarily forgetting his line, he recovered in time to shout out the words, "Boy, do I have news for you!!"

Haha!!!!!!!!!!!! Merry Christmas.
