When four of
Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas
pressure.
Then Mrs. Claus
told Santa her Mother was coming to
visit, which stressed Santa even more.
When he went to
harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the
fence and were out … Heaven knows where.
Then when he
began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.
Frustrated, Santa
went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to
the cupboard, he discovered the elves
had drunk all the cider and hidden the liquor. In his frustration,
he accidentally dropped the cider jug,
and it broke into hundreds of little
glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw
off the end of the broom.
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. Isn't this a lovely day? 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.
Not a lot of
people know this.
