Not long ago and far away, Santa was getting ready for his annual trip,
but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves were 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. Totally frustrated,
Santa went into the house for a cup of coffee and a shot of whiskey.
When he went to the cupboard, he found the elves had hit the bottle and
there was nothing to drink. In his frustration, he 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 door bell 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: "Where would you like to put this tree fat man?"
And that is how the little angel came to be on top of the tree.
