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 floor-
boards 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 drank all the cider and hidden
the liquor. 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 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 so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the
Christmas tree.
