Santa was getting ready for his annual trip, but there were problems everywhere. Four of his elves got 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 to. 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
liquor 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 doorbell 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, my friend, is how the little angel came to be on top of the
Christmas tree.
Don't Trust Anyone
