A Christmas Tradition
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 rum.
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 thus began the tradition of
the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.
Not many people know
this!

Not very hospitable is he? LOL! Remind me not to visit the North Pole, just in case Santa's in a bad mood! xxx
Hehehe I guess we all have bad days...but the angel has suffered long enough surely? :-)

You´re always good for a laugh Hettie! Kate x
No tree here this year thank heavens. The strain of having someone with extreme OCD decorate it was just an angel too far!
Thanks for all your funnies. Hugs Mrs A.

Ha ha, I'll never look at an angel sat atop of a tree in the same way again.
