- Send us your Christmas cracker jokes to help raise money for St Theresa's Hospice. The winning joke will be selected by the Chuckle Brothers when they inject some special festive fun into the Northern Echo as guest editors later this month.
- With so much bad news around, this is an opportunity to have some fun at Christmas so send in your jokes - either by email to me at peter.barron@nne.co.uk or via Twitter @echopeterbarron, using the hashtag #chuckleatchristmas
