Story of the Christmas Tree Angel
This is the way it happened....
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 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 me to put this tree fat man?"
And that my friend is how the little angel came to be on top
of the Christmas tree.
