It was the festive season and three people showed up at the pearly gates to seek admission.
One was a Englishman, One was a Scotsman, and the last was an Irishman.
St. Peter said that in light of the season the seekers needed to provide an appropriate token to gain admission.
When asked what the Englishman had as a token, he produced a sprig of mistletoe. When asked what the connection was, he explained that it was his version of a portable Christmas tree. St. Peter recognized the connection and granted the Englishman entrance.
When the Scotsman was asked for his token he provided a key chain with a six keys attached. When asked what the connection was, the Scotsman vigorously shook the key chain and explained that they were yuletide bells. He also was granted admission.
Lastly, the Irishman was asked for his token. He furiously searched through his pockets and found nothing even remotely appropriate. In desperation dug deep down into his left pant pocket and produced a pair of panties. St Peter sternly examined the item and asked for the connection. The Irishman promptly replied They were Carol's.
