Can You Help Santa?

This Christmas wouldn’t it be great to receive a little surprise? The club is running a Christmas raffle with 43 fantastic prizes.

There is a crisis at Santa HQ.  It’s been a long Winter and Rudolph is so gloomy his nose has stopped glowing.  Santa needs Rudolph to guide his sleigh. The only thing that will make it glow again is if you can cheer Rudolph up.  Rudolph loves jokes...

Can you find the funniest joke to make him laugh and start his nose glowing again?
