Christmas Story for people having a bad day....
When four of Santa's elves got sick, and the trainee elves didNot produce the toys as fast as the regular ones, Santa wasbeginning 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 ofthem were about to give birth and two had jumped the fence and wereout, heaven knows where. More stress.
Then when he began to load the sleigh one of the boardscracked, and the toy bag fell to the ground and scattered the toys.
So, frustrated, Santa went into the house for a cup of applecider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered thatthe Elves had hidden the liquor, and there was nothing to drink. Inhis frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider pot, and itbroke into hundreds of little pieces all over the kitchen floor. He wentto get the broom and found that mice had eaten the straw end of thebroom.
Just then the doorbell rang, and irritable Santa trudged to thedoor. He opened the door, and there was a little angel with a great bigChristmas Tree. The angel said, very cheerfully, "Merry Christmas, Santa.Isn't it a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would youlike me to stick it?"
And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of theChristmas Tree...
