Comment from Paul McFarland

Excellent

These are all very interesting. I don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill, but some of the origins were a real surprise. Skin of your teeth, coming from the Bible was a real shocker.

I know, I was amazed to read that about that idiom coming from the Bible. Thanks so much, Paul, I'm glad you like them. I'm having fun researching them. Have a wonderful Christmas and a fabulous, healthy 2022 :)) Sandra

Excellent

I enjoyed your fun, but informative, post, Sandra. It is evident you researched your topics well. The images for each idiom are perfect. The info is presented in an easy to understand way, too. Who knew there was one from the Bible?

Not me. I like the fun jokes, too--esp the 'a way in the manger.'
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

To tiptoe on broken glass. ( I have used all of the idiom except this one and haven't heard it before. Thank you for sharing them with us. I enjoyed the Christmas jokes they are so silly they caused me to smile. Thank you for sharing.)

Hi Sandra, this was a fun, read as always. Ii knew all the idioms and what they meant, but what I didn't know was where they all originated from. Thanks for doing all the research. It was so informative. Also I loved all the illustrations. A big hug, Ulla xxx
