Laugh It Off: Holiday Humor to End the Year Right

It’s that magical week between Christmas and New Year’s, the one where no one knows what day it is, leftovers count as a balanced meal, and office email replies are set to “see you next year.”


So instead of talking about goals or marketing plans, we thought we’d end the year with something better:


A few laughs.


Grab a cup of cocoa, take a break from those resolutions, and enjoy some humor to help you coast happily into 2026.


Home for the Holidays


Struggling to get your family’s attention?
Simply sit down and look comfortable. That should do the trick.


Job Market Realities


Interviewer: You’re asking for a pretty high salary for someone without any real experience.


Interviewee: Well, that’s because this job is going to be super hard since I don’t know what I’m doing.


(Somehow, this feels like every first week at a new job ever.)


Say It with Flowers (or Don’t)


A man stops by his local florist to buy flowers for his new girlfriend.


The florist says, “You know the expression, ‘You should say it with flowers’? How about three dozen of my finest roses?”


“Make it a half dozen,” the man replies. “I’m a man of few words.”


Classic Grandpa Wisdom


Grandpa always said when one door closes, another one opens…


Great man.


Horrible cabinet maker.


The Law and (Out-of-) Order


A state trooper stops a woman for going 15 miles over the speed limit. After handing her a ticket, she asks, “Don’t you give out warnings?”


“Yes, ma’am,” he replies.
“They’re all over the road. They say, ‘Speed Limit 55.’”


A Divine Sense of Humor


Question: What’s the name of the Greek god of humor?


Answer: Hilarios.


(We’ll see ourselves out.)


The Running Joke


2022: Didn’t jog.


2023: Didn’t jog.


2024: Didn’t jog.


2025: Still haven’t jogged.


This is a running joke.


(And honestly, that’s the only kind of running we’re doing this week... or ever.)


Funny New Year Favorites


  • Every year on New Year’s Eve, when everyone’s counting down the final ten seconds, I get up off the couch and raise my left leg and just keep it raised until midnight strikes. That way, I always start the new year off on the right foot.

  • May all your troubles last as long as your New Year’s resolutions.

  • I was going to quit all my bad habits for the new year, but then I remembered that nobody likes a quitter.

  • My resolution was to read more — so I put the subtitles on my TV.

  • An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.

  • “I promise not to make any bad jokes for the rest of the year.” — A dad on New Year’s Eve

The Year-End Thought


It’s been a long year, full of deadlines, deliveries, and (hopefully) laughter along the way.


So before we all reset for 2026, take a moment to smile, breathe, and appreciate that you made it through another lap around the sun.

How to Use Brochures to Strengthen Your Brand (Without Overthinking It)

Image
You want your business to look professional, polished, and trustworthy; but when your brochure doesn't match the quality of your work, that impression takes a hit. The truth is, a lot of brochures are either too generic, too cluttered, or just flat-out confusing. If you’ve ever handed one out and thought, “That’s not really us,” this guide is for you. Let’s break down how to create brochures that reinforce your brand instead of undermining it. Step 1: Clarify What You’re Really Trying to Say Before picking a layout, a font, or even a headline, get clear on the brochure’s purpose. Is it meant to: Introduce your business to new prospects? Highlight a product or service? Serve as a takeaway after a sales pitch or event? Whatever the purpose, commit to it. A brochure trying to do everything usually ends up doing nothing well. Keep the focus sharp, and your message will be clearer to your reader. Step 2: Choose a Format That Suppor...

Why Do Brochure Projects Always Get So Complicated? (And How to Fix It for Good)

Image
You’ve probably asked it halfway through a project—right after the third round of edits, the “urgent” email from sales, or the meeting that left you with more questions than clarity: “Why is this taking so long?” “Who’s actually in charge?” “Why does no one agree on what we’re doing?” Let’s get straight to it: Brochure projects don’t fall apart because of bad design. They fall apart because of unclear collaboration. And if you’ve been stuck between competing opinions, last-minute feedback, and a print deadline that doesn’t care about your internal politics, we get it. The good news? There’s a better way to work together, and better results on the other side of it. When Should We Involve the Printer? (Hint: Not After the Final Draft) One of the biggest time-wasters in brochure design? Waiting until the piece is “done” to send it to your printer. By the tim...

Dad-Approved Print Marketing: Tough, Practical, and Built to Last

Image
Father’s Day may be behind us, but the dad energy lives on. You know what we’re talking about—classic dad traits: practical, no-nonsense, a little sarcastic, probably wearing cargo shorts, and definitely giving side-eye to your “modern” marketing campaign. And if we’re being honest? Your next print project could probably use a little more of that. So let’s take a moment—post-Father’s Day—to appreciate what dads (and dad-like marketing) have always done best: kept things simple, sturdy, and surprisingly effective. Here’s what your next print piece might look like if it were designed by everyone’s favorite unofficial brand strategist: Dad. 1. Paper So Thick It Could Be a Coaster If your brochure can't double as a shim for a wobbly table leg, your dad would probably question your paper choice. He doesn’t believe in flimsy print. Neither should you. Thick stock = serious message. 2. Fonts You Can R...
