Santa had asked Banta to help him out with the deck after work,
so Banta just went straight over to Santas place. When they got to
the door, Santa went straight to his wife, gave her a hug and told her how beautiful she was and how much he had missed her at work. When it was time for supper, he complimented his wife on her cooking, kissed her and told her how much he loved her.

Once they were working on the deck, Banta told Santa that he was surprised that he fussed so much over his wife. Santa said that hed started this about 6 months ago, it had revived their marriage, and things couldnt be better. Banta thought hed give it a go. When he got home, he gave his wife a massive hug, kissed her and told her that he loved her.
His wife burst into tears.
Banta was confused and asked why she was crying. She said, This is the worst day of my life. First, little chintu fell off his bike and twisted his ankle. Then, the washing machine broke and flooded the basement. And now, you come home drunk!
