Today is all about celebrating the joke. It is simply about having a good laugh and enjoying life.

I find this to be a delightful event. My husband is a wonderful comic and has passed his amazing sense of humor onto our kids. My oldest daughter could always be found with a joke book near her growing up. Now, my grandchildren (funny people themselves) are discovering the world of joke books. It is very heartwarming to me.

Here are some great book suggestions:
