Not long ago and far away, 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 Santa that her mom was coming to visit. This
stressed Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer, he found
that three of them were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence
and were out, heaven knows where. More Stress. Then when he began to
load the sleigh, one of the boards cracked and the toy bag fell to the
ground and scattered the toys. Totally frustrated, Santa went into the
house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey. When he went to the
cupboard, he found the elves had hit the liquor and there was nothing to
drink. In his frustration, he 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 on his way to the door. He
opened the door and there was a little angel with a great big Christmas
tree. The angel said: "Where would you like me to put this tree, fat
man?"
And that my friend, is how the little angel came to be on top of the
Christmas tree.
