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.
