One particular Christmas season 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. Clause 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 were about to give birth and two had jumped the
fence and were out who 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. So, frustrated, Santa went into
the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey.
When he went to the cupboard, he discovered that the
elves had hid the liquor and there was nothing to
drink. In his frustration, he accidentally 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 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.
