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 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 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.
