Top Ten Reasons
Why the Holiday Season
is Better Than Tax Season

Dateline: 01/11/99

My accountant sent a funny Top Ten List along with his letter of Christmas Greetings which you should find amusing. So my thanks to Pat Smith at Evancic Perreault Robertson for this list. American readers may substitute the IRS for Revenue Canada.

10. Pumpkin pie is better than humble pie.

9. "Children laughing" is better than "adults weeping."

8. Carolling is more fun than an audit.

7. What you give is your choice.

6. Whose "naughty" list would you rather be on?

5. "Holy Night" is more melodious than "Holy Cow!"

4. "Noel" is better than "Oh well!"

3. Santa can only damage your house. Revenue Canada can take it away.

2. If you're bad, Santa ignores you; if you're bad, Revenue Canada won't leave you alone.

1. Being kissed under the mistletoe is better than what the tax collector does to you.
