A Christmas tale...
When
four of Santa's elves came down with the 'flu he began to feel
Christmas pressure. Mrs. Claus then announced her mother was coming to
visit.
He went to harness the reindeer and found that three were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence.
He began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and the toys went everywhere.
Frustrated,
Santa went into the house for a shot of rum. He went to the cupboard
and discovered the elves had drunk all the rum. He accidentally
dropped his glass and it broke into pieces all over the kitchen floor.
He picked up the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off
the end of it.
Just then the doorbell rang, and an irritated
Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little
angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said very cheerfully,
"Merry Christmas, Santa. I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would
you like me to stick it?"
And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree. |
