A Little-Known Christmas Fact
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. 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. 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.
