Funny Firefighter Santa Fire Truck Christmas Shirt Naughty List Ho Ho Hold My Hose

A reindeer hangs out of the passenger window of the cab, sunglasses on, one hoof draped over the door like he has made this run a hundred times. Santa sits at the wheel in matching shades, steady and unbothered, with presents stacked high on the roof and a string of Christmas lights looped along the side of the truck. Smoke rolls off the tires. A streak of flame trails the exhaust. Somebody is running late, and nobody on board seems worried about it.

A Funny Firefighter Santa Fire Truck Christmas Shirt That Rolls In With the Presents

We made this design for the firefighter in your house, and for the wife, husband, brother or daughter who has learned to wait up for a pager on holiday nights. A fire department badge sits on the truck door, and the bold lettering above it, Naughty List, sets up the joke before anyone reaches the italic line below: Ho Ho Hold My Hose. It is the kind of line that gets repeated across the table at a station Christmas dinner, usually by the person who pretends not to be laughing.

There is something tender under the humor. Firefighters work holidays, and families learn to bend the tree trimming and the gift opening around a shift schedule. A design like this turns that reality into a joke the whole household shares. Santa behind the wheel of a fire engine makes sense to us, because he also shows up in the dark hours when people are counting on someone to arrive. A gift with a bow sits at nearly every corner of the roof, so the delivery clearly comes first and the sirens come second. We drew him with a smirk and a pair of sunglasses so he looks like one of the crew, a little proud of himself and not at all sorry about the smoke on the road. On a cold morning at the station or a loud night around the family tree, the truck gives everyone something to point at and laugh about together.

Does the Ho Ho Hold My Hose Joke Work Before and After December 25?

The joke fits the whole stretch of December, from tree trimming to the station holiday party, and the truck and hose humor still lands in January while the lights are coming down and the crew is retelling the story.

Bring the reindeer along to the next holiday gathering and let the smoke from those tires make the introductions.
