Holiday puns every communicator should avoid

Be ready for it.

Now that Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are behind us, the holiday marketing marathon begins.

For the next few weeks, there will be no escaping the holiday slogans, puns, jingles and wordplay. Some of it will be clever; some, not so much.

Below are a bunch that fall into the “not so clever” group. You might even call them ho, ho, horrible. You better watch out.
