SANTA
Not long ago and far away, 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.
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. Totallyfrustrated,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 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 my friend, is how the little angel came to be on top of the
Christmas tree.
