One particular Christmas a long time ago, Santa was getting ready for his
annual trip, but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got
sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular
ones, so Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule.
Then Mrs. Claus told him that her her Mom was coming to visit. That
stressed Santa even more.
Then, when he went to harness the reindeer, he found three of them were
about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and were out, heaven knows
where. More stress!
When he began to load the sleigh, one of the boards cracked and the toy bag
fell to the ground, scattering toys every where. So, frustrated, Santa went
back into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey.
When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had hid the whiskey
and there was nothing to drink. In his frustation, he accidently dropped
the coffee pot and it broke into hundreds of little pieces all over the
kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found that mice had eaten the
straw it was made from.
Just then, the doorbell rang and Santa cussed his way to the door. He
opened the door and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas
Tree. The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas Santa. Isn't it
just a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you, isn't it just a lovely
tree? Where would you like me to stick it?"
Thus began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas Tree!
