A Little Christmas Story
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. 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.
